본 연구는 근거이론을 적용하여 임신부들의 정보추구경험과 관련된 제 개념 및 이들 개념들 간의 관계 규명을 통하여 임신부의 정보추구에 관한 구조와 과정을 밝힌 연구이다. 이론적 표집에 의해 16명의 임신부들을 대상으로 심층적인 면담을 수행하였고, 면담데이타는 근거이론의 지속적인 비교분석에 의해 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 임신부의 정보추구의 발생원인은 임신의 수용으로 나타났다. 임신부들은 지각된 불안과 궁금증의 맥락에서 임신의 정상상태 유지현상을 해결하기 위해 산전 진단데이타 추구하기, 표준지식 추구하기, 경험담 추구하기와 정서적 지지 추구하기의 작용/상호작용적 정보추구 전략을 취하였으며, 비교하기, 맥락화 하기, 확인하기의 정보추구의 과정들을 거쳐 갔다. 이때, 정보 획득방법 인지, 임신출산의 선행지식, 자아조절, 정보접근환경이 중재조건으로 작용하였다. 그 결과 충족과 불충족을 경험하였다. 또한 임신부들은 임신의 과정동안 정보요구의 변화발전에 따라, 수용국면, 적응국면, 구체국면, 전환국면을 통과하였다. 후속연구에서는 본 연구에서 밝혀진 정보추구의 구조와 과정을 통합하여 임신부의 정보추구행위를 총체적으로 설명하는 실체이론을 개발해야 할 것이다.
Using Grounded Theory, the present study was to discover structure and process of pregnant women's information seeking experience through identifying concepts and relationships of the experience. In-depth interviews were conducted with 16 participants selected by theoretical sampling. The findings were: 1) Pregnant womens' information seeking was caused by Acceptance of Pregnancy, 2) The phenomenon of information seeking was for Maintaining Normalcy to Pregnancy(MNP), 3) MNP occurred in connection with Perceived Anxiety and Desire to Know, 4) Action/interaction Strategies to MNP were related to the Awareness of Ways Acquiring Information, Previous Knowledge, Self-Regulation, and Information Access Environment, 5) Action/interaction Strategies to MNP were Seeking Diagnostic Data of Antenatal Care, Seeking Standard Knowledge, Seeking Experience, and Seeking Emotional Support, 6) As consequences of taking strategies, pregnant women were experienced in Sufficient, or Insufficient, 7) A three-stage process of information seeking was discovered: Comparing, Contextualising, Making sure, 8) In terms of change of information needs during pregnancy, a four-phasic process was discovered: Acceptance Phase, Adjusted Phase, Focusing Phase, and Transitional Phase. Based upon these results, it needs to generate a substantive theory contributed to holistically explain and predict pregnant women's information seeking behavior .
