摘要

本研究探討受虐婦女於家庭生活中，在受虐與母職雙重壓力下的母職經驗為何。為求研究的可信度，本研究採用三角檢視法，首先探用多重收集資料的方法，包括深度訪談、參與觀察、閱讀個案紀錄；其次增加重要關係人為訪談對象如女兒，以豐富訪談資料。本研究的重要發現有：1．母職與婦女受虐經驗有正負影響，負向影響為：施虐者以小孩的安全作威脅、懷孕生產坐月子期間也受到施虐、母職將受虐婦女困於虐待關係而無法脫離困境；正向影響為：母愛成為受虐婦女承受更多、生存下去、反抗暴力、甚至逃離暴力的正向力量。2．受虐婦女面臨四項母職困境，包括沒錢沒權難以給孩子好的照顧、母職的孤立無援、無法避免孩子受創、難以挽救母女關係的破裂等。研究者建議社會福利體系與婚姻暴力防治體系，必須對受虐母職困境提供適切的因應措施。

This study explores the kinds of motherhood experiences of battered women living under great double pressure of being an abused and being a mother at the sametime. To establish credibility of the study, we used the triangulation method: first, we use a few methods for information gathering, including depth interviews, participant observation, and reading case records; secondly, we include mother-daughter pair subjects as support data. The two important findings are: 1) motherhood has both positive and negative impacts on abuse experience. The negative impact is that the abuser uses child(ren) as a threat to abuse; battered women can not escape from battering even during pregnancy, giving birth, and post giving birth, and they can not leave the situation because of motherhood. The positive impact is that battered women are willing to suffer, survive, resist, and even escape the violent situation for the love to their children. 2) Battered women face four kinds of motherhood problems including having no money, no power to provide their child(ren) good loving care; being isolated, finding no way to prevent their child(ren) from being hurt, and not the least important, cannot repair the broken bond between mother-daughter. Therefore, we strongly advise that the Welfare Department and the marital violence prevention and treatment programs provide appropriate services to the needed battered mothers.
