虽然越来越多的博士生在他们的博士课程怀孕和/或育儿比以前，很少有研究集中在他们的经验。这项定性研究（N = 28）探讨了女博士生谁是怀孕期间，他们的博士课程（在卫生保健领域）和他们的决策有关的职业毕业后的经验。本研究考察了参与者对内隐和外显文化、职业期望的看法，以及这些经验对职业目标和轨迹的作用。与会者描述了一种期望值很高的学术文化，在这种文化中，如果母亲对自己作为母亲的身份保持沉默，并确保家庭生活不会对她们的工作生产力产生负面影响，她们就可以取得成功。一些人认为，由于在研究生院期间怀孕和养育子女，他们在研究生院和/或就业市场上失去了机会。这些经历对研究生职业生涯的影响是多种多样的，但大多数人都谈到希望在一个重视家庭和工作生活平衡的家庭友好型组织中找到一个职位。对一些人来说，这是一个学术职位，而对另一些人来说，这是一个全职的实践职位或兼职工作。
While more doctoral students are pregnant and/or parenting in their doctoral programs than previously, little research has focused on their experiences. This qualitative study (N = 28) explored the experiences of female doctoral students who were pregnant during their doctoral program (in a health-care field) and their decision-making about careers postgraduation. This study examined participants’ perceptions of the implicit and explicit culture, professional expectations, and the role of these experiences on career goals and trajectories. Participants described an academic culture of high expectations, in which mothers could be successful if they maintained a silence about their identity as a mother and ensured that their family life did not negatively impact their work productivity. Some perceived lost opportunities in graduate school and/or on the job market due to pregnancies and parenting during graduate school. The impact of these experiences on postgraduate careers was diverse, but the majority spoke of wanting to find a position in a family-friendly organization where family was valued and work life balance was possible. For some, this was an academic position, while for others this was a full-time practice position or part-time work.
