| dc.description.abstract | This research study was conducted with the aim of exploring the challenges of working mothers belonging from medical settings in achieving their work-life balance. This study was unique in its nature because it explored the challenges of working women who worked out of their sheer passion and determination, whereas studies conducted in this domain mostly discuss the reasons behind working mothers quitting their workforce. This study constituted of four participants, the research design for this study is qualitative and the methodological approach used for this study is interpretive phenomenological approach (IPA). All interviews conducted were semi-structured on phone calls considering the convenience of participants and individually. Data analysis revealed that participants revealed that work-life balance is the ability to handle both responsibilities completely regardless of it being a very haphazard phenomenon. They acknowledged the support of their family and spousal support without which maintaining this balance would have been even more challenging; they accepted experiencing mom-guilt was part of the process. Their most significant challenge was the transition between a doctor and a mother, juggling between the two roles and having no time for one own self. This research study will help to inspire those women who want to pursue their dreams and goals, learn from the experiences of other women and try to untap their potential and talents that they are bestowed with. It will also help to enhance and improve the mental health of working mothers or even homemakers with their stresses, exhaustion and burdens and how do they deal with their routine stresses and exhaustion in a better and more healthy way. | |
