Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to understand the reconstruction experience of mothers who had recently experienced a late-school age daughter¡¯s menarche by utilizing a hermeneutic phenomenological research methodology based on Parse¡¯s human becoming theory. Data were collected using purposive and snowball sampling methods to recruit the mothers of elementary fifth- and sixth-grade girls recently experiencing menarche. The data were analyzed using Parse¡¯s research methodology. As a result, the mothers¡¯ experiences appeared as ¡°the process of reconstructing the menarche-related values created by themselves by facing the child¡¯s menarche experiences and related responses along with the change of era.¡± The key concepts of there construction experiences of the mothers were ¡°experiencing an ambivalent feeling of pity and pride,¡± ¡°celebrating her instead of expressing concerns,¡± ¡°giving a traditional lesson of protecting oneself to a new generation,¡± and ¡°feeling empathy as a woman and also alienation due to the generational gap.¡± These findings reveal the important roles and competencies of community and school nurses in terms of achieving a healthy and positive reconstruction experience for mothers and their daughters. Also, it is necessary to develop educational programs for mothers who are about to encounter their daughters¡¯ menarche.
