摘要

本研究目的欲瞭解從孩子的角度所知覺父親派外對家庭影響的內涵。本研究採用質性研究法，訪談五位成年前期學生的受訪者，其研究發現如下；
當孩子年齡愈小時，分離焦慮愈為濃厚，不了解為何父親不在家，渴望父親常在家。當孩子年齡漸長時，父親不在家，感覺較輕鬆，但也開始會擔心父親在外地的安危。而當孩子在大學時期，較能適應此分離的情況，同時也較能體會父親派外的必要性及好處。
在父親派外期間，父子（女）關係通常較母子（女）疏遠。母親常成為家中情感聯繫中心以及父子（女）間的溝通橋樑；較年長的孩子，常有機會成為「親職化小孩」(Parental child)，協助媽媽分擔家務工作，照顧年幼的弟妹或是成為媽媽在情感上傾訴或是商量事情的對象。除了親子系統產生改變外，父母的婚姻系統及整個家庭系統方面也都有可能產生變化。
研究者針對研究發現作討論，並對父親派外的家庭提出建議。

The purpose of this study was to explore the familial impact of the father's expatriation according to children's perceptions. The study employed in-depth interviews with qualitative exploratory methods. The major findings from 5 early adulthood students were as follows:
The younger the children were, the stronger the separation anxiety. Children were unable to understand why the father was absent and they were eager for their father's presence at home. As children growing up gradually, they felt ease but started to worry about the safety of their father. During college stage, the children could adapt them-selves well to this kind of separate situation and realize the necessity and positive side-effects of the father's expatriation.
During the period of father's expatriation, the relationship between father and children was not as close as this with the mother. Mother became the center of familial emotional connections and the communication channel between father and children. The elder child was much more likely to become parental child, helping their mother in performing household chores, caring for the younger and serving as parental confidant. In addition to the changes of the parent-child system, the marriage system and the overall family system were probably changed as well.
Finally the findings are discussed as well as suggestions for the families of expatriates are made.
