The problem under investigation will address how academic institutions can support culturally responsive self-care practices to increase the number of doctoral recipients identifying as Hispanic women, which is only 11% of all doctorates as of 2021. Since burnout can occur when self-care is not being prioritized, academic institutions have a responsibility to supporting minority demographics. This study will explore how Hispanic women in online doctoral programs practiced and defined culturally responsive self-care. The conceptual framework for this study follows Su Jin Kim's 2019 adaptions of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs which focuses on mental health, physical health, social support, and financial distress all required to achieve happiness with a focus on women. This study also follows the Social Emotional Learning frameworks which provide academic institutions with a guide for creating SEL in curriculum. This study will follow a qualitative approach by exploring the ethnographic lived experiences of Hispanic women who have already successfully completed online doctoral programs. The data analysis for this study will follow an analytical and axial coding system to present the findings. This study will be significant for distance learning administrators to provide them insight into the self-care needs of minority demographics and how to better support them in their educational journeys in avoiding stress and burnout.
