Experiencia de la reincorporación laboral en madres postnatales de una entidad de salud de la ciudad de Santiago de Cali

Abstract

Nowadays many mothers, even when they feel unprepared, must separate from their children to continue with their work activities. This article was developed from a qualitative approach with a phenomenological scope from a transversal non-experimental design, with a collection of information through semi-structured interviews, with the objective of describing the experience of reincorporation to work in three postnatal mothers linked to an institution of the health sector in the city of Cali. The results showed that there are internal meanings that determine the experience of women at the time of reincorporation into the labor market, which imply different positions within their real and ideal self, generating in some cases congruencies and incongruencies in relation to how they behave in their work environment in relation to what they want, feel and do in their role as mothers and workers. From this research it was possible to conclude that the experience of mothers when returning to work will not only be determined by internal meanings but also by external factors that can lead to both a friendly experience and an aversive experience that could facilitate or hinder labor productivity.
