肢體障礙者的父職參與研究

本文從傾聽肢體障礙父親的聲音出發，藉此嘗試提出幾個肢體障礙父親在家事工作、育兒工作、教養工作的父職參與鏡頭。透過本文可以具體的看到肢體障礙父親的父職參與情形，從而了解，其在親職工作的參與中受到肢體障礙的影響，以及這些影響會驅使肢體障礙父親發展出何種因應策略。本研究採用質化研究的詮釋現象學取向，使用深入訪談法蒐集四位（每位皆訪談2-3次）現階段育有學齡期子女（6-12歲）的肢體障礙父親資料，其研究結果如下：家事工作方面有兩點特色：（一）靜態式定位形態、（二）選擇性決策，挑選家事項目。育兒工作方面有三點特色：（一）成為父親前，對於「肢體障礙」的心理擔憂、（二）支持母親，發展克服肢體障礙的育兒策略、（三）借力使力的身體遊戲方式。教義工作方面有三點特色：（一）教導孩子障礙知識的無形分工、（二）參與學校活動的替代性角色、（三）休閒活動的親職困境。綜合研究結果顯示，肢體障礙父親參與育兒工作最投入，其次為教養工作，最少為家事工作。他們對於家庭內的父職工作，所遭遇的「肢體障礙」有著許多方式可以克服。然而，對於家庭外的「社會環境障礙」，卻存在著難以克服的困境。

This study is to portray, from the perspective of fathers with physical disabilities, their involvement in house chores, nurturing and educating their children. It artic1e speaks volumes of how these fathers dedicate themselves in parental jobs, barriers caused by their disabilities, and how these impacts evoke the fathers' coping strategies. Qualitative method in the hermeneutics phenomenological research approach is adapted in this study to collect materials of 4 physically disabled fathers with school age children (age 6 to 12), by 2 to 3 times in-depth interviews. The results suggest the findings of static positioning patterns and selective decision-making model in housework. The study also indicates that a barrier of being physically disabled is their main concern before they turn into ”real father”. In the involvement of nurturing children, they develop their own strategies to support their spouses and overcome the physical barriers. Playing games is also an important element in nurturing children This study also emphasizes the importance of children's acknowledgement to physical disabilities, participation in school activities and difficulties in leisure activities According to the study, physically disabled fathers are able to put themselves into, by the amount of involvement, nurturing, educating children and house chores. And they have their own ways to overcome the barriers while implementing their parenting roles. However, they are vulnerable to the ”environmental barriers” outside the family.
