- Title
Assessing the Role of Culture in Korean Goose Mothers’ Lives.
- Authors
Cha, Chiyoung; Kim, Eunjung
- Abstract
Korean women who migrate to a foreign country with their children for the latter’s education while their husbands stay in Korea as breadwinners are referred to as “goose mothers.” The cultural beliefs that have contributed to the formation of this family form and the experiences of these women need to be explored within their cultural context. To understand this population, Confucianism as a cultural background and its influence on goose mothers’ value systems, family systems, and view of self were explored. Based on the learning, their potential health issues are described and implications for culturally competent care are suggested.
