|
Purpose: This study aimed to explore the structure of meaning on conflict experienced by married immigrant women during pregnancy and childbirth.
Methods: A phenomenological approach was used. Participants were five immigrant women who had experienced pregnancy and childbirth in Korea. Data were collected by in-depth interviews. The method proposed by Giorgi (1997) was used to guide the process data analysis.
Results: The structure of meaning which emerged from constituents was: Overcame absence of family relationship and became "Korean-mother." It explored the essence of conflict experienced by married immigrant women during pregnancy and childbirth, which reflected the four phenomenological structures of space, body, time, and relationship: Became a person who gained no respect from one"s spouse; left out in a place where access to medical information and health care provider were blocked; endured time of loneliness and isolation from in-laws and people around; accepted the new child-centered family relationships.
Conclusion: This study provided an understanding on conflict experienced by married immigrant women during pregnancy and childbirth. The findings of this study could be utilized for a nursing intervention to take care of conflict experienced by married immigrant women during pregnancy and childbirth.
