Summary: | 碩士 === 國立台北護理學院 === 嬰幼兒保育研究所 === 94 === The purpose of this study is to go deeply into the nursing world of early child mothers by mothers’ annotation in order to understand how they feel and what they think in the process of raising children. From the hermeneutic phenomenology point of view, this thesis thoroughly analyzes four interview cases on the caring experiences of four early child mothers with a view to entering the inner world of a mother who is in the stage of child nursing and , therefore, trying to develop a new perspective on child nursing. The following are the conclusions.
I. The original family is the place where everyone grows up and is also the place where everyone’s love and emotions are originated. We live with it without noticing the importance of it. However, it does have a great influence on us. In the same way, it influences our decision on delivering and nursing babies.
II. In the experiences of delivering a child, no matter the interviewed mothers use the term “wanting” or “ being able to” to describe their choices of having a baby, I find that their expectations on having a baby boy or baby girl is greatly influenced by the social attitudes which most people have in their society. These mothers even turn the expectation into their own great missions. Therefore, the situation of delivering a child they face actually has existed inside themselves long before they even get married.
III. In the chapter of “nursing experiences”, I start from the early child mothers and look into other related environments. And I have the following findings.
1. Although it depends on the mother to be a full-time mother, the desire of being a full-time mother does relate greatly to how she comprehends her nursing situation.
2. Next, among the advantages and disadvantages of the nursing provided by the grandparents, I understand it is not really positively or negatively related.
3. Besides, in choosing the caretakers outside the family, while the reliable information of caretakers is not easy to gather, it is the guarantee from the relatives and friends and the issue of transportation convenience that these mothers care about the most.
4. From the experiences, I understand that the appreciation that the early child mothers show to their husbands’ participation in the nursing and the role of financial support are actually affected by the “normative vision”. Although it is not clear, it’s very influential to everyone in our society , certainly the early child parents included.
5. Finally, based on these mothers’ experiences, I come to realize what kind of nursing environment their government has provided. And meanwhile, despite the difficult situations they have encountered, I find most of these early child mothers don’t understand their problems of early child care are actually due to the improper policies their country has offered.
In the conclusion, the researcher also provides the following opinions.
I. To early child parents:
All early child mothers should encourage contact between fathers and their kids, provide dads more chances to take care of their children, and tolerate the imperfect caring that may happen. Fathers should not use excuses to hinder the chances of taking care of their children. Furthermore, all wives and the whole society should encourage fathers to get involved in child care. Therefore, all children’s greatest well-being will be made.
II. To those who want to be early child caretakers:
Those who want to work in the field of childcare should improve their professional knowledge and ability, try more aggressive ways to show the differences between themselves and other caretakers who have never been trained. Therefore, the parents will be convinced that it is important to have professional personnel to do the job.
III. To future researchers:
Since this research didn’t distinguish the interviewed mothers’ roles as the first-time or second-time mothers, some differences, such as the mothers’ point of views or the things that they concern about, might not show up in the research. Therefore, the future researchers may try to tell the differences in their research and conduct some other interesting and important findings.
