Purpose: Despite the health impacts of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) beginning in the early stages of life, there is little research on the perception of EDCs among Korean mothers, who are primarily responsible for protecting children. This study aimed to explore how mothers with young children perceived EDCs for their concerns, the issues they faced, and the way they dealt with them.Methods: An exploratory qualitative design was utilized. Twelve mothers who were recruited from snowball sampling participated in voluntary interviews. Individual in-depth interviews lasting approximately 47 to 60 minutes were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis as suggested by Graneheim and Lundman.Results: Four categories, 10 subcategories, and 25 condensed meaning units were identified by interpreting mothers’ underlying meanings. The four categories were ‘Knowledgeable yet contrasting ideas regarding EDCs,’ ‘Negative health impact, but more so for children,’ ‘Inaction or trying to minimize exposure,’ and ‘Need for early, reliable resources and social change.’ Mothers were knowledgeable about EDCs and actively needed further education and support. While they tended to focus more on the health impact of EDCs on their children and were optimistic about their health risks, paying less attention to their preventive behaviors.Conclusion: Healthcare professionals must consider mothers’ perceptions of EDCs in future education and interventions regarding EDCs impact on women’s life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, and childrearing. Also preventive strategies that can be applied to their daily lives are needed.
