Eventually, the whole process enables them to recover their identity, to feel a sense of belonging, and to discover possibilities for a better future.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the experiential meaning of child-rearing for marriage immigrant women in Korea in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Using the hermeneutic descriptive phenomenology framework developed by Colaizzi, 10 marriage immigrant women rearing preschool and school-age children were invited through purposive and snowball sampling from two multicultural support centers in Korea. The participants were rearing one or two children, and their original nationalities were Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, and Chinese. Individual in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted from September 1 to November 30, 2021. We extracted significant statements from the transcripts, transformed these into abstract formulations, and organized them into theme clusters and themes to authentically capture the essence of the participants' subjective experiences. Results: Four theme clusters with 14 themes were derived. The four theme clusters identified were "navigating child healthcare alone," "guilt for not providing a social experience," "worry about media-dependent parenting," and "feelings of incompleteness and exclusion." This study explored the perspectives of mothers raising children as marriage migrant women who experienced physical and emotional health crises due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The findings underscore that marriage immigrant women encountered heightened challenges in managing their children's health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic due to linguistic and cultural barriers limiting access to healthcare and information. Additionally, these women experienced considerable emotional stress from perceived inadequacies in providing a holistic social and developmental environment for their children under extensive social restrictions.

본 연구는 카타르시스 경험에 기여한 음악의 역할 및 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 음악을 통해 특정한 감정을 분출하거나 완화한 경험이 있는 일반 성인 12명을 대상으로 하여, 음악 내 카타르시스 경험을 탐구한 경험적 현상학적 연구를 수행하였다. 자료수집과 분석에는 현상학적 환원, 태도변경, 문헌 해석, 해석학적 순환 등이 활용되었다. 연구결과 총 3개의 범주, 5개의 주제모음 및 11개의 주제가 도출되었다. 첫 번째 범주인 '음악을 통한 지금-여기'는 '심미적 경험', '음악적 참신함의 확장' 2개의 주제모음으로 구성되었으며, 두 번째 범주인 '음악을 통한 내면의 접촉'은 '내재된 정서 재경험' 1개의 주제모음, 세 번째 범주인 '음악경험에의 몰입'은 '감정의 분출 및 심화', '내적 역동' 2개의 주제모음으로 구성되었다. 논의에서는 도출한 결과를 중심으로 음악의 카타르시스적 특성에 대해 세 가지로 설명하였는데, 첫째, 음악의 심미성과 참신함이 참여자들을 음악경험에 온전히 머무르게 하였고, 둘째, 음악과 관련된 기억 및 미해결된 감정이 내재된 정서 재경험을 유도하였으며, 셋째, 음악의 구성요소별 특성이 감정의 분출, 심화, 내적 역동을 촉진하였다는 점이다. 본 연구는 일반 성인의 카타르시스 경험에 기여한 음악의 특성에 대해 질적으로 접근한 연구라는 점에 그 의의가 있다.

Purpose: 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.
