Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to generate a grounded substantive theory of the adaptation process of mothers-in-law of Vietnamese women married to Korean husbands.
Methods: Thirteen women who had Vietnamese daughters-in-law were interviewed. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a grounded theory method.
Results: Eight categories with 19 sub-categories were extracted from 268 concepts. The identified phenomenon was ¡¯overcoming differences¡¯ and the core category was ¡¯trying one¡¯s best to live together with daughter-in-law¡¯. The 9 categories were grouped into 3 stages for the adaptation process: encountering, struggling, and living together.
Conclusion: The results indicate that when individuals from different cultural and personal backgrounds have to live together there is a continuing negotiation process towards meeting each other¡¯s needs. Health professionals can assist this adaptation process by providing these women with insights into various ways of meeting each other¡¯s need while they are struggling.
