The workforce of midwives is insufficient in European countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan, where midwives help with childbirth, as well as in Africa, where the maternal mortality rate is high [1]. In Korea, where 99.5% of newborns are born in hospitals, midwives are also facing a crisis due to the deteriorating circumstances in the field of obstetrics and gynecology resulting from the ultra-low birth rate [2]. As apprenticeships for midwives have disappeared, it has become difficult to train midwives. Midwives are also losing their jobs and closing birth centers in response to the decreasing number of midwife-assisted births, after an earlier period of growth due to the popularity of natural childbirth. Accordingly, this article was written to shed light on the role of midwives during the transition process of the Korean midwifery system and to explore ways of broadening the role of Korean midwives in the future by analyzing examples of the expansion of midwives’ role in other countries.","PeriodicalId":30467,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing","volume":"27 3","pages":"167-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9328587/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40654895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For children, however, home quarantine was not limited only to themselves but parents, especially mothers were involved and required to quarantine. This qualitative study aimed to explore and understand mothers’ experience and their related psychosocial issues while caring for their school-aged children in Korea, who had to home quarantine after coming in close contact with COVID-19 positive individuals. Methods Data were collected from October 2020 to January 2021 via in-depth, semi-structured interviews with nine mothers of children who had to home quarantine. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in an independent space near the participant’s home or workplace (n=5) or via online platforms or telephone (n=4). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through several iterative team meetings. Results Thematic analysis revealed the following four themes: “Unable to be relieved due to uncertain situations surrounding me,” “Blame and hurt toward me, others, and one another,” “Pulling myself together for my children in my broken daily life,” and “Changes in the meaning of life amid COVID-19.” Conclusion The narratives show that mothers experienced psychosocial difficulties while caring for their children during home quarantine. It is necessary to reduce the social stigma toward individuals in home quarantine and establish policies to ensure work-family compatibility for such mothers.","PeriodicalId":30467,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Women Health Nursing","volume":"27 3","pages":"220-229"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9328592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40654896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
