dc.description.abstract | The aim is to understand the experience of being cared for in psychiatric care as a patient and as a parent. Parenthood
represents the natural form of human caring, a human directedness regardless of gender. The study has its starting point in
this image, as it applies to mothers who receive care as provided in a psychiatric care context. The theoretical perspective is
the theory of caritative caring, and the methodological approach is the philosophical hermeneutics outlined by Gadamer.
The sample was purposeful: 10 mothers who experienced being a mother while suffering from mental illness and receiving
care from professionals in psychiatric specialist health care contexts. The interpretation process is inductive, deductive, and
abductive, and includes different levels of rational, contextual, existential, and ontological interpretation supported by the
chosen theoretical perspective and the philosophy of ethics outlined by Emmanuel Levinas. The interpretation on the
contextual level shows that the patients do not talk about their inner feelings concerning themselves as mothers in the care
relationship. The interpretation on the existential level reveals the meaning of the mothers’ experiences of inner struggle
between their inner demands and assuming a mask of silence. The patients’ experiences on the ontological level were
interpreted as a struggle between the responsibility inherent in human being and the fear of condemnation. At the
ontological level, a new hypothesis of the understanding of the meaning of the parents’ experiences was formulated: Being in
care as a patient and as a parent means struggling to restore one’s responsibility as a human being. This new understanding
paves the way for caring of the patient who is a parent. | language |
