The number of unwed adolescent mothers is growing recently, extending the seriousness of the problem.

The data obtained from the structured questionnaire survey of 79 unmarried adolescent mothers and 82 female adolescents were analyzed in terms of frequency and t-test using the SPSS WIN 8.0 program. The results were as follows: 1. Ego-state elements of unmarried adolescent mothers were distributed evenly in general and this falls under the All B(BBBBB) type of ego-gram, just like the adolescents.

본 연구에서는 미혼모의 사회적 관계망의 기능적 특성이 미혼모의 자아존중감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였으며, 특히 기존 연구에서 배제되어 있던 사회적 관계망의 부정적 측면인 사회적 갈등에 주목함으로써, 연구의 폭을 넓히고자 시도하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 전국 미혼모 시설 8곳 중 6곳에 거주하고 있는 미혼모들 205명을 대상으로, 설문조사를 실시한 후 다중회귀분석방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 미혼모들이 지각하는 사회적 지지의 수준이 높을수록 자아존중감이 높게 나타났으며, 사회적 갈등이 높을수록 자아존중감은 낮게 나타났다. 특히 미혼모들이 지각하는 사회적 갈등은 사회적 지지보다 낮은 수준이기는 하지만, 자아존중감에 미치는 영향력은 사회적 지지와 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 사회적 관계망의 부정적 기능에 대한 인식은 시설내 미혼모에게 개입하는데 있어 새로운 방향을 제시해 준다. 즉, 지금까지 관심을 가져왔던 사회적 지지체계에 대한 개입 외에, 갈등의 원천이 될 수 있는 관계망과의 관계를 제거하고 새로운 대안을 찾거나 개선하는 방향으로 개입의 방향을 전환할 수 있을 것이다.

이 연구의 목적은 현상학적 연구를 통하여 출산 후 시설에 거주하는 양육미혼모 삶의 경험구조와 본질을 심층적으로 이해하기 위함이다. Methods: 2016년10월1일부터 2017년 2월까지 9명의 양육미혼모를 대상으로 심층면담을 통하여 자료를 수집하였으며, Colazzi의 현상학적 연구방법을 이용한 질적 연구이다. 연구결과: 출산 후 시설에 거주하는 양육미혼모 삶의 경험은 네 가지의 주제모음과 15개의 주제로 나타났다. 네 가지의 주제모음은 '출산과 양육과정', '모자보호시설의 생활', '당당한 엄마로 홀로서기', '풀리지 않은 실타래'으로 경험되었다. 결론 : 출산 후 양육미혼모들은 외롭고 고달픈 현실을 혼자 감당해야 한다는 심리적 압박감을 경험하지만 아이와 이 현실을 극복하기 위해 고군분투하였다. 양육미혼모들은 자신이 선택한 삶을 아이와 당당하고 행복하게 살기를 희망하고 있었다. 이에 미혼모가 안정적으로 살아 갈 수 있는 주거 환경적 지원과 미혼모를 바라보는 부정적인 사회적 시선과 차별을 버리고 서로의 다름을 인정하며 함께 더불어 살아가도록 사회 전반의 인식 전환이 필요하다.
