초록

With changes in Korean society structure, the proportion of working mothers —women who engage in both employment and childcare—has increased steadily. Despite the introduction of various services aimed at supporting working mothers, challenges remain largely unresolved. This study analyzes the multifaceted problems faced by working mothers and proposes an AR-based exercise game application as a solution, aiming to derive UX design strategies suited to their context. Through one-on-one in-depth interviews and a diary study, this research identified the key issues among the mothers as guilt toward children and physical fatigue. Time scarcity emerged as the fundamental cause. The proposed service was designed to make more efficient use of time, helping to alleviate guilt and fatigue simultaneously. Usability testing of the service revealed positive feedback, particularly regarding relief from physical fatigue and improved interactions with children. Based on these insights, this study establishes UX design strategies that reflect the complex contexts of working mothers. These findings are expected to contribute to the design of services for working mothers in the future.
