Abstract

This study is a qualitative study using phenomenological methods that focus on the meaning of what individuals experience to understand the meaning of the gender role of women after childbirth. The participants of this study are 17 women who gave a birth from 8 weeks of the postpartum period to a year after the birth. Seven categories were derived from the results of analyzing the meaning of the gender roles of participants, and the seven categories are confirmed to be body changes and pain, just making me feel down, the difference between expectation and reality, isolation from husband and social network, thinking about my mother as a woman, the pain of body and mind sublimates, and convergence/dissociation between femininity and motherhood. This study is meaningful in that the results of this study provided information that would have a broader understanding of women's gender role after giving birth.

본 논문은 출산 후 여성이 경험하는 성역할과 모성 역할에 대한 의미를 이해하기 위해 개인이 경험한 의미에 초점을 둔 현상학적 방법을 사용한 질적 연구이다. 본 연구 참여자는 서울과 경기도에 거주하고 있으며 출산 후 8주에서 1년 이내의 여성 17명이다. 참가자의 평균연령은 38.1세로 5명의 초산부와 12명의 경산부이었다. 참가자의 여성과 모성의 성역할에 대한 융합적인 경험에 대한 의미를 분석한 결과, 신체의 변화와 고통, 그저 힘이 듦, 기대와 현실의 차이, 남편과 사회로부터의 고립감, 모성이자 여성인 어머니를 생각함, 몸과 마음의 아픔이 승화됨, 여성과 모성의 융합과 해리의 7개의 범주가 도출되었다. 본 연구 결과는 출산 후 여성의 성역할 경험에 대한 일련의 과정을 구성함으로 출산 후 여성의 역할에 대하여 폭넓은 이해를 가질 수 있는 정보를 제공한다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 향후에는 생애주기별 여성의 성역할 경험에 대한 심도 깊은 연구가 필요하며 이를 토대로 여성의 다양한 성역할 규명이 융합적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.
