ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Michigan School of Psychology
The present study evaluated the experience of burnout among mothers who attended a psychology graduate school program. Eight individuals who identified as mothers participated in the qualitative study. Participants were asked questions that targeted the experience of burnout in a semi-structured interview. The Reissman narrative model, which also consisted of a structural and thematic analysis, was utilized in the study. Participants in the study highlighted their experiences of burnout and how they used strategies to reduce burnout. Participants discussed feeling emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausted. Participants discussed various hurdles they had to overcome as they experienced burnout. Participants also discussed how support mitigated the experience of burnout.
