本研究根據Crawford與Godbey(1987)所提出之三類型休閒阻礙為理論基礎,來探討脊髓損傷者參與休閒之選擇及面臨之阻礙因素。由於脊髓損傷者多為後天因病或意外而導致運動與感覺機能障礙,除了生理上的不便,心理挫折、經濟問題等也會跟著浮現。因此,本研究以脊髓損傷者作為主要研究對象,採用多重個案研究法做深入分析,探討此一族群在休閒參與時所可能會面臨的阻礙因素。研究結果發現個案曾經接觸過的休閒活動內容中,有些休閒活動至今仍持續地參與中,但有些項目卻因為受到不同程度之阻礙而放棄或減少參與的次數;另外也發現,脊髓損傷者的休閒內在阻礙因素為個性的限制及自我設限;人際阻礙方面為父母不支持、缺乏同伴及交友圈的限制;結構阻礙則是周圍環境的不便、休閒場地的問題及公共休閒空間無障礙設施的不便等。
The purpose of the syudy was to investigate leisure participation and constraint for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). The study was conducted based on the leisure constraint theory addressed by Crawford and Gobey (1987). People with SCI were mostly acquired by accidents or diseases. Many issues occurred during the transition from free access to multiple constraints after the injury. Multiple cases study approach was used and the researcher expected to find out the leisure constraints cccurred in the process of leisure participation. The results indicated that some leisure activities was continuously participated by people with SCI, but some were stopped owing to different constraints. Intrapersonal constraints were found as personalities and self-limitations; interpersonal constraints were family opposition, lack of companies, and limitations of social interaction; structural constraints were inconveniences of surroundings and accessibilities.
