SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This study presented the summary of findings, the conclusions drawn and
recommendations offered by the study.
Summary of Findings
This study focused on the lived experiences of children whose mothers
are police officers gathered from September 2022 to December 2022.
Specifically, the study identified the participants’ perception of their mother’s job,
the advantages and disadvantages, the challenges encountered, as well as their
coping with the said challenges, and the insights gained from having a police
mother.
A total of twenty-two (22) themes was formulated from answering the
statement of the problem. On the Perception of the participants on their mother’s
job, from two (2) interview questions, emerged six (6) themes which are;
understanding that being police is an arduous job; that it is a respectable and
honorable job; they are inspired and proud to their mother’s duty; they had close
family ties; they learned to be independent through their mother’s way of
discipline and they experienced complication due to time deficit. On the
advantage of being a policewomen’s child, formulated one (1) theme which is;

respect for women, sense of independence, responsibility, security and
discipline, social connection and prestige. While on the disadvantage, emerged
one (1) theme which is the time and/or attention deficit for bonding and sense of
danger due to parent’s duty as police.
On the challenges of having a police mother, the researchers came up
with seven (7) themes which are; that the participants were raised in a strict
parenting environment; growing up is challenging due to the situation; learning to
be independent. When it comes to attachment issues, the participants; did not
have attachment issues with attachment issues and they learned to live
independently and responsibly; also, they learned to adapt to their parent’s
absence. Lastly, on the challenges of being a child of policewomen; they
experienced difficulties due to frequent parental absence to render duty but at the
same time, they had positive perspectives as children of policewomen.
It was also revealed in the fourth statement of the problem which is the
participants’ coping with the challenges of being a policewomen’s child, that they
asked for support from relatives and peers; and that they took the challenges
encountered as an avenue for their character or self-development.
Further, there were five (5) themes on the insights gained by the
participants from having a police mother; they became a person with high self-
efficacy of becoming a public safety officer; they became productive and lived
independently; they appreciated their mother’s work, became independent and
developed empathy and valued time.

Conclusions
Based on the study's findings, the researchers discovered that, on the
whole, they have a favorable opinion of their mother's work and that they are
motivated and well-behaved. Additionally, they encounter difficulties receiving
care and attention because their mother doesn't provide them with enough of it.
Being a child of a policewoman has both benefits and drawbacks, according to
the study. The participants' status as the children of policewomen presented
additional difficulties.
The participants' lived experiences as policewomen's children were
determined by adaptive, positive, and negative experiences that were influenced
by favorable, unfavorable, or personal-related factors, according to the
researchers' findings. The majority of them were adaptive, indicating that despite
the disadvantages they experienced and the difficulties associated with being a
policewoman's child, most of them still developed good viewpoints on these
issues and grew more reliant. Their experiences served as a springboard for their
own growth.
Further, the researchers showed the insights of the participants on their
experiences that they gained high self-efficacy becoming public safety officers,
they became productive and independent and they developed empathy and
valued time.
Recommendation

Based on the research findings, the researchers hereby recommend
addressing the existing challenges encountered by children of policewomen, is to
develop an action plan, emphasizing in developing of deep understanding of a
children with regards to the work of their mother as a police.
Last but not least, given the limits of the study, this research can be used as a
foundation for references for future research. It is strongly advised to do
exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses that call for a wider population with
a variety of backgrounds.
