Abstract

The purpose of this study is to construct a substantive theory that described and explained how pregnant women are seeking information in context of pregnancy. A qualitative design based on the method of grounded theory was utilized. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 pregnant women, selected by theoretical sampling who receiving antenatal care 3 different university hospitals. The interview data were transcribed and systematically analyzed according to the open coding, axial coding and selective coding. 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' was the core category for describing and guiding the process of seeking information during the pregnancy. To construct a theory of 'Increasing Sense of Self-Control over Pregnancy' in this study, eight hypothetical statement were generated from the relationships among the core category and the other categories, thus four patterns were derived as follows: 'Desperately Seeking', 'Actively Seeking', 'Unconcernedly Seeking', 'Resignedly Seeking'. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of development of LIS theory in Korea, theory development of information behavior, education for LIS, and information service practice. The suggestions for further research are provided.

본 연구는 근거이론 방법을 적용하여 임신부들이 경험하는 정보추구의 독특함을 총체적으로 반영한 정보추구의 실체이론을 개발하였다. 이론적 표집에 의하여 산전진료에 참여하고 있는 16명의 임신부를 대상으로 심층적인 면담을 수행하였다. 자료 분석은 근거이론 절차에 따라 자료수집과 자료 분석을 동시에 수행하였고, 지속적인 비교분석을 하였다. 임신기의 정보추구의 맥락, 구조, 과정의 분석 결과, 임신부의 정보추구 경험을 통합하는 핵심범주는 '임신에 대한 자아통제감 향상하기'로 도출하였다. 즉, 임신의 과정동안 임신부들의 의도적이고 일상적인 정보추구행위는 합맥락적이고 합리적으로 임신상황에 대처해 나갈 수 있는 능력을 향상해 나가는 과정이라는 것이다. '임신에 대한 자아통제감 향상하기'의 경험 유형은 '필사적 추구형', '적극적 추구형', '무관심 추구형', '체념적 추구형'으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구결과의 특징 및 선행 정보추구 모형과의 비교 및 임신부들을 위한 정보서비스 개발을 논하였다.
