UNDERSTANDING THE EXPERIENCE OF MOTHERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION DURING THE COVID-19 ERA

Abstract Details

2024, Ph.D., Antioch University, Antioch Seattle: Counselor Education & Supervision.
This exploratory study aimed to understand the experience of mothers in higher education both during the COVID-19 pandemic and toward the end of restrictions. The population included academic mothers with children at home during the pandemic. Data was analyzed thematically by a team of researchers. The results generated six themes: (a) life changed suddenly, (b) remote work, school, and life, (c) unsupported, (d) sense of control, (e) support, and (f) positive aspects of COVID. These findings are important to the field of mental health counseling profession, supervision, and higher education because of the circumstances exemplified by the pandemic that highlight the necessary structures and support needed for academic mothers to succeed.
