与子女一起住在收容治疗家庭无家可归者收容所的妇女往往在多个方面受到侮辱：她们吸毒成瘾，“无家可归”，以及对她们育儿技能的怀疑。这一定性叙事调查研究探讨了妇女与子女一起生活在无家可归者收容所的经历，因为她们从酒精/药物成瘾中恢复过来。具体而言，我们研究了各种方式，其中妇女概念化和执行母亲，而居住在新的开端庇护所（化名）在美国南部中部的复杂性，了解妇女的社会，情感和健康为基础的背景下，可以使机构检查和塑造周围的母性隐性和显性的假设。我们采用了半结构化的采访六名妇女和分析成绩单使用两轮的主题编码。出现了五个反复出现的主题。研究结果说明了“适当的母亲”是位于特定的制度，政治，历史和经济背景。我们建议，霸权假设需要被质疑，以更好地为处于危机中的家庭服务。
Women living with their children in residential treatment family homeless shelters are often stigmatized on multiple fronts: for their addictions, being "homeless", and assumptions about their mothering skills. This qualitative narrative inquiry study explored women's experiences of living in a homeless shelter with their children as they recover from alcohol/drug addiction. Specifically, we examined the various ways in which the women conceptualized and performed mothering while residing at the New Beginnings shelter (pseudonym) in the mid-Southern U.S. Understanding the complexities of the women's social, emotional, and health-based contexts can enable institutions to examine and shape implicit and explicit assumptions surrounding motherhood. We employed semi-structured interviews with six women and analyzed transcripts using two rounds of thematic coding. Five recurring themes emerged. The findings illustrate the way "appropriate mothering" is situated in specific institutional, political, historical, and economic contexts. We suggest hegemonic assumptions need to be interrogated to better serve families in crisis.
