성소수자의 가족경험에 대한 질적 메타분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze qualitative meta-analysis of studies conducted as qualitative studies on family experiences related to sexual minorities already been published. In the absence of the same-sex marriage law, it was intended to understand the family experience of LGBTQ people, including homosexual cohabitation, and the experience of parents with LGBTQ children as a whole. The subjects of the analysis are nine published in domestic journals and dissertations from 2015 to 2022, the first start of the sexual minority family experience. Data coding and categories of individual studies, mutual comparison between individual studies, analysis, result extraction, comprehensive results, and final interpretation were carried out in seven steps. Based on this, the core experiences and conceptual themes of the subjects who have the family experience of LGBTQ were reconstructed. The results of the study are as follows. First, one key experience and four conceptual themes of ‘gender identity of difference’ were derived from the experience of sexual minorities before the family knew it. Subsequently, two key experiences and five conceptual topics were derived from the responses and experiences of family members, “rejection and avoidance” and “acceptance.” Finally, the sexual minority party experience after the family knew resulted in two themes: ‘friction and barrier’ and ‘full life’ and four conceptual themes. Based on this, the experience of sexual minorities and the reactions and experiences of family members were explained and discussed. Through qualitative meta-analysis, it is possible to grasp the specific appearance of sexual minorities’ family experiences and present implications by reflecting in-depth on the research conducted by qualitative research. Finally, the significance of the study was presented and suggested for follow-up research.
