Conflict of roles of a mother and a student in female students of ZSF JU
KYSELÁKOVÁ, Lenka
This thesis is focused on women who have the social role of a mother together with the role of a student. The content of this thesis consists of four main areas, namely: social roles, conflict, family and education. The aim is to survey the subjective perception of the conflict of roles of a mother and a student in the female students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. To carry out the survey I chose a target file consisting of 10 combined-form third-year students of the Faculty of Health and Social Studies of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, who are also mothers. I focused on the intrapsychical experience of women in the given conflict and psychological and psychosomatic consequences which might be caused by the conflict. In the thesis I set up three research questions and using the qualitative research I have tried to find the answers. The method used in the qualitative research is interrogation and the technique is the semi-structured interview. At the interview the information was obtained in the face-to-face interaction. As a feedback to the questions I got verbal and nonverbal responses. The results of the research questions: The first research question is: "Is study a voluntary decision of a mother or is it the need required by the job?" The outcome is that in 7 out of 10 respondents this is a voluntary decision, which is most commonly associated with a professional development and the need for self-realization. In 1 respondent this is an employment-related necessity what makes her study, she is motivated to maintain her present job and work post. In 1 respondent studying is a voluntary decision also connected with the necessity associated with her employment. The second research question is: "What specific restrictions do female students perceive as a result of their parallel roles of mothers and students?" The outcomes show that 8 out of 10 respondents feel stressed as a result of a lack of the time devoted to family, which is caused by their studies. They are forced to shift their responsibilities to other caregivers. 1 respondent feels stressed because she is not able to do everything at 100 per cent. 1 respondent stated that she did not feel any restrictions. The third research question is: "How is the conflict of the both roles expressed in subjective psychosocial and psychosomatic aspects?" The result is that in all 10 respondents psychosocial problems are present. 9 out of 10 respondents stated psychosomatic disturbances. These results inform about possible psychosocial and psychosomatic consequences caused by the conflict between the roles of a mother and a student. Individual approach to these women could mitigate the problem. In my thesis I have described a social issue and based on the obtained outcomes I have drawn the hypothesis that the role of a mother and a student causes an intrapsychical conflict to women.
