Purpose: This study aimed to explore the interactions of single mothers with health care workers during their transition to motherhood.
Method: This qualitative study conducted focus group interviews with 16 single mothers who were identified at four facilities for single mothers and provided written informed consent. from Junre to October 2017. Each focus group session was recorded and transcribed verbatim.
Result: Four categories emerged from the data: “trapped behind a will of eyes,” “oil on water,” “standing naked in a public square,” and “Support from being called a mother.”
Conclusion: The study results showed that health care workers should provide health care service to single mothers with thorough consideration and care. The findings suggest that appropriate education is necessary for health care workers and prospective health care workers who provide maternal and neonatal care to improve the medical services that they provide to single mothers.
