“…A qualitative approach was utilised with in-depth interviews to derive Nepalese woman's accounts of their personal pregnancy and birth experiences in remote mountain villages. This is an appropriate research approach for working with marginalised and vulnerable population groups (Liamputtong, 2009). Freire's (1970) concepts of oppression, conscientization and dialogue added insight in considering women's status and control in pregnancy and birth.…”

“…Outsiders often see women who embrace long standing traditions of childbirth in their communities as unaware of 'real risks' (Obermeyer, 2000). Yet many factors encompassing perceptions, culture, tradition, rituals, spirituality, familial social relationships, birth place and birth supports, are considered important aspects of childbirth (Callister, 1995;Downe, 2007;Hodnett et al, 2007;Liamputtong, 2009;Hodnett et al, 2010;Walsh, 2010;Douglas, 2011;Lori and Boyle, 2011).…”

“…Childbirth is a powerful personal event in women's lives as well as a significant social experience and it differs according to their culture and society (Callister, 1995(Callister, , 1997(Callister, , 2004Callister et al, 1999;Semenic et al, 2004;Liamputtong et al, 2005;Carpenter, 2009;Liamputtong, 2009;Callister and Khalaf, 2010;Schneider, 2010;Farnes et al, 2011;Lemay, 2011;Sawyer et al, 2011;Etowa, 2012). Therefore, any understanding of women's pregnancy and childbirth experiences requires understanding their culture, tradition and social values because the degree of control and type of choice that women can make during pregnancy and childbirth depends on societal values and what societies offer to reproductive women (Janssen et al, 2009;Dahlen et al, 2010a;Lindgren and Erlandsson, 2010;Namey and Lyerly, 2010;Douglas, 2011;Snowden et al, 2011).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore preserved belief system supporting Korean immigrant women's Taekyo practices and influencing factors while they observe the tradition within US sociocultural context. Methods: Leininger's exploratory focused ethnographic approach was used. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with purposive sample of sixteen Korean immigrant women who gave birth in the US within last 6 months. Researcher's observation and reflective field notes were also integrated into the interview data. Leininger and McFarland's four phases of ethnographic analysis guided data analysis process. Results: The perceived belief system supporting Taekyo practices included Taekyo as an enculturated Korean tradition, connecting parents with fetus, and positive impacts on fetal development. And Korean immigrant women's Taekyo practices were influenced by resources of information, woman's orientation toward Taekyo, pressure from local Korean community, and child order. Conclusion: The findings from this research would serve as an important knowledge base to expand US health care providers' understanding of Korean traditional Taekyo practices observed by Korean immigrant women's as important prenatal self-care practices. The findings could also aid in providing more patient-centered and culturally-tailored prenatal care plan to Korean immigrant by including Korean traditional belief system supporting Taekyo practices.
