A Systematic Literature Review on Conflicts and Conflicts Resolution Methods Experienced by Grandparents in Raising Grandchildren : Focusing on Qualitative Research

The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze qualitative research papers related to conflicts and conflict resolution methods experienced by grandparents in raising their grandchildren, focusing on domestic academic journal papers published after the 2000s. To this end, 22 qualitative research papers published in domestic journals since 2000 were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the factors of conflict were identified as physical conflict, psychological conflict, and economic conflict, with psychological conflict being the most common. It was found that the solutions to these conflicts included self-management and acceptance, support from grandchildren and farmily, as well as help from the community and those around them. Based on these research results, follow-up studies on grandparenting should consider various aspects of the factors and solutions of conflict, and it is necessary to explore support plans for grandparents rnising their grandchildren.
