Die Interviewtranskripte wurden zur qualitativen Datenanalyse in die Software MAXQDA \u00fcbertragen und mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Philipp Mayring analysiert.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Die Zufriedenheit mit der Umsetzung des Mutterschutzgesetzes hing stark von der Mitbestimmung bei der Aufgabenverteilung ab. Alle 8 in der kurativen Praxis und im Schlachthof besch\u00e4ftigten Tier\u00e4rztinnen erhielten ein absolutes Besch\u00e4ftigungsverbot. Trotz fr\u00fchzeitiger Gespr\u00e4che mit Arbeitgebenden zum Thema Familiengr\u00fcndung wurde der Arbeitsplatz meist nicht angepasst, da das Risiko und die Kosten als zu hoch betrachtet wurden. Dies f\u00fchrte oft zu negativen Ver\u00e4nderungen im kollegialen Verh\u00e4ltnis und einer Entfremdung vom Beruf. Von den 12 vor der Schwangerschaft in der kurativen Praxis angestellten Tier\u00e4rztinnen \u00e4u\u00dferten alle Zweifel an der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf aufgrund von schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen. Sieben von ihnen wechselten deshalb das Berufsfeld. Arbeitgeberinnen f\u00fchlten sich unzureichend beraten und unsicher bez\u00fcglich ihrer Verantwortung. Selbstst\u00e4ndige Tier\u00e4rztinnen arbeiteten oft bis kurz vor der Geburt und nahmen fr\u00fch im Wochenbett wieder die Arbeit auf, was als stark belastend empfunden wurde.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Die selbstbestimmte Arbeitsfortsetzung und alternativ die Notwendigkeit von Ausstiegsstrategien standen im Mittelpunkt dieser Studie. Durch den entstehenden Verlust des Tierkontakts wird die berufliche Identit\u00e4t stark gekr\u00e4nkt. Zudem werden hochqualifizierte Frauen mit Familienwunsch in ihrer Karriere und Selbstbestimmung eingeschr\u00e4nkt, obwohl sie \u00fcber hohe Kompetenzen im Eigenschutz verf\u00fcgen. Die strikte Umsetzung des Mutterschutzes (\u201eNull-Risiko-Politik\u201c) dr\u00e4ngt qualifizierte Frauen aus dem Beruf, w\u00e4hrend Arbeitgebende kaum Unterst\u00fctzung oder alternative L\u00f6sungen haben. Dies ist auch vor dem Hintergrund des Fachkr\u00e4ftemangels sehr problematisch.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2894-3301","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T22:42:13Z","timestamp":1787265733000},"page":"262-271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Die
