This ethnographic case-study explores the daily experiences in child-rearing and education among Korean full-time housewives. For this purpose, 11 full-time housewives in their thirties and forties from the middle class were interviewed with an unstructured questionnaire. The findings are as follows: Full-time housewives tend to assume the full responsibility for child-caring and education. Their time is structured around the schedules of caring children and participating in educational programs for children. The most demanding tasks for them include preparing for a preschool, getting the children ready for school, rendering supports for children's schools, extra curricular education, and arranging and offering gift money to teachers. They feel that their husbands do not provide enough supports for child-caring and education. Despite all the negative experiences, Korean full-time housewives put in whatever they have to make sure their children's well-being and to provide the best education possible for their children; the maternal identity plays a role of the utmost importance in them.

본 논문은 30대 부터 40대까지의 여성들 가운데 6세 이하의 자녀를 양육하는 시기와 부모/노부모를 동시에 돌봐야 하는 이중돌봄의 문제가 상당히 광범위하게 존재하고 있음을 보여주면서, 돌봄이 특정 시기의 특정 연령대에 분절적으로 일어나는 것이 아니라 생애주기의 어느 시점에도 발생할 수 있는 일상성에 주목하였다. 또한 돌봄은 부담으로서 뿐만 아니라 즐거움이나 보람을 동시에 주고 있으며, 돌봄제공자-돌봄대상자-돌봄보조자의 관계에 의하여 다양한 층위의 경험으로 분화될 수 있음을 드러내었다. 연구결과, 6세 이하 아동돌봄과 노인돌봄을 동시에 하는 이중돌봄 가구는 전체의 38%에 달했고, 향후 이중돌봄이 예상된다는 가구까지 합하면 54.9%에 이르러 이중돌봄이 상당히 보편적임을 보였다. 돌봄의 즐거움과 부담을 분석한 결과, 돌봄의 즐거움은 아동돌봄>부모돌봄>시부모돌봄 순이었으며 부담은 역순으로 나타났다. 그러나 돌봄제공자와 대상자간 관계는 돌봄 자체의 즐거움이나 부담에 영향을 미치는 주요한 요인으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 며느리-시부모간 돌봄도, 딸-부모간 돌봄도 그들이 맺어온 관계에 따라 돌봄경험이 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 딸이 부모를 돌볼 경우에 남성 배우자로부터의 무관심이 더 높고 도움이 수반되지 않아서 딸로서의 돌봄이 며느리로서의 돌봄의 경우보다 부담이 가중되기도 하였다. 결론에서는 이중돌봄의 어려움을 감소시킬 수 있는 사회적 지원방안과 정책이 제안되었다.

Purpose: This critical ethnography was performed to explore the experiences of nurses who are working with patients in an industrial disaster hospital. During the research process, I focused on the experiences of conflict in caring patients. Methods: Data for the study came from 13 informants with their corresponding patients through interview and observation from March 2002 to February 2004. The data was examined line by line; then compared and contrasted based on a critical discourse analysis. Results: Nurses' conflicts came from discrepancies of the world views from that of the patients. Such conflicts arose because of various issues as follows: Worker as an individual vs patients, nurse as young women vs the medical profession, hospital as an extended home vs health care setting, and hospitalization as a means to enhance work capacity vs a means of treatment. Conclusion: We need more study on the development of adaptive strategy for the nurses to overcome conflicts during their nursing career. Developing a nurses' and patient role intervention program is needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this narrative study was to understand how family caregivers interpreted themselves life during caring for dying patients with gliobalstoma, and how they integrated these experiences into their personal biographies. Methods: Three family caregivers were recruited for the study. Data were collected through a series of audio-taped unstructured interviews and conversations with participants. The interviews and observation were conducted between October and November, 2011. Data were analyzed using psychosocial analytical methods that combined case based, in-depth staged analysis of narratives. Results: The life experiences of the family caregivers with a dying family member were summarized as, in their own voices, 'the repetition of gliobalstoma,' 'a smart patient,' 'being obsessed with rehabilitation treatment,' 'the frustration from nothing but just looking at the suffering of the patient,' and 'a stubborn son'. Conclusion: Caregiving was characterised by various roles and life changes from the moment of diagnosis. Family caregivers of brain tumor reported experiences similar to those described by caregivers of people with other cancers. What differed for this group was the rapidity of change and the need for immediate information and support to assist with caring for a person with high-grade glioma.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to understand and describe the overcoming experiences of family members caring for elderly patients with dementia at home. Methods: Data came from autobiographies on the overcoming experiences of caregiving from 31 participants, who had submitted the autobiographies to a public contest held by the Seoul Metropolitan Center for Dementia in 2012. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Four overcoming stages emerged from the analysis: confronting stage; challenging stage; integrating stage; and transcendental stage, representing transformation of experiences from frustration and suffering to happiness and new hope in life. The confronting stage illustrates severe negative feelings and exhaustion occurring after the diagnosis of dementia. The challenging stage signifies major driving forces in taking good care of their patients. It includes tender loving memories about the patients as well as family and social supports. The integrating stage shows genuine empathy for the patients' situation and the happiness of 'here and now', while the transcendental stage represents new hope in the future. Conclusion: Health professionals need to support caregivers to find true meaning of caring and happiness in everyday life, while providing specific information on dementia care and relieving various negative feelings.

Purpose: This study aimed to understand and describe the caring experiences of spouses of elderly people with dementia. Methods: The hermeneutic phenomenological method was used and participants were 12 spouses aged 65 and over who were taking care of their husbands or wives with dementia at home. Data were collected from individual in-depth interviews on participants' actual caring experiences. Additionally, novels, movies, and memoirs on elderly couples with partner who had dementia were included as data for the analysis. The qualitative data analysis software program was used to manage and process the collected qualitative data. Data were analyzed using hermeneutic phenomenological analysis based on four fundamental existentials including lived body, lived space, lived time, and lived others. Results: Five essential themes emerged from the analysis: 1) body moving like an old machine, 2) swamp of despair filling with hope, 3) sweet time after bitterness, 4) disappointed elderly couple in the empty nest, and 5) unappreciation vs. empathetic feelings. These essential themes were comprehensively summarized as "the road leading to the maturation of life with dedication and hope while bearing the weight of caring based on the couple's relationship." Conclusion: The findings indicate that the nature of the caring experience of spouses of elderly individuals with dementia is filled with many dynamic and paradoxical dimensions. Thus, results of the study would help with developing interventions tailored specifically for elderly spouse caregivers to support their role adaptation and ultimately improving their quality of life.

목적 본 연구의 목적은 북한이탈 어머니의 영유아 자녀 양육 경험이 무엇인지 그 경험 과정을 확인하고, 양육과정을 통해 심리사회적 문제를 어떻게 해결하는가에 대한 실체이론을 개발하는 것이다. 방법 연구참여자는 이론적 표본추출을 통하여 선정하였고 연구 자료는 심층면담과 참여관찰 및 참여자의 의무기록 등을 사용하여 수집한 후 Strauss와 Corbin (1998)의 근거이론방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 결과 연구 결과 개방코딩 과정에서 62개의 개념과 23개의 하위범주, 11개의 범주가 도출되었으며 북한이탈 어머니의 영유아 자녀 양육 과정의 핵심범주는 '희망을 가지고 키워가기'로 밝혀졌다. 시간 흐름에 따른 양육 과정은 '양육 환경 변화 인식기', '양육 방법 조정기', '자신감 형성기'의 3단계로 나타났으며 양육 과정의 유형은 기대하기형, 지켜보기형, 걱정하기형의 세 가지 유형으로 구분되었다. 결론 본 연구의 결과는 영유아 자녀를 돌보는 북한이탈 어머니들의 양육경험을 이해하고 개별적인 간호를 제공하는데 기초가 될 이론적 기틀로 활용할 수 있을 것이며 북한이탈주민이 급증하고 이에 따라 동반 입국하는 아동의 수도 함께 증가하고 있는 현 시점에서 이 아동들의 건강 유지 및 증진을 위한 간호 실무에 매우 중요한 초석이 될 것이다.
