摘要

目的在了解新移民女性在雙重文化環境下身、心所面臨的轉變。以修訂現象學研究法，採立意取樣居住北縣新店市共20位新移民女性，以半結構性開放方式進行3-4次訪談，每次30-90分鐘，分析資料產生主題。結果：移民女性在雙重文化環境下身、心所面臨的轉變可歸納為：夢想期、風暴期、紮根期、萌芽期、綻放期。夢想期：期待台灣文化產生夢想；風暴期：現實文化衝突產生身、心健康問題；紮根期：子女誕生促使她們根留台灣；萌芽期：家人、社會環境與醫療體系支持是關鍵；綻放期：能表達內心需求與願意走出來協助更多新移民女性適應台灣生活。結論：新移民女性面對台灣坐月子文化，影響產後身、心狀況，應引導家人了解、尊重其原生文化。社區護理人員應鼓勵家庭成員彼此分享，提供資源、轉介，協助文化適應；最後新移民女性在文化適應需家人、社會、相關醫療工作者共同努力，期提供多元化的資訊，增進身心健康。

The purpose of this research was to deeply understand the Taiwanese new immigrant females' lived experience of acculturation. Research method: Modify phenomenological approach was used and total of 20 new immigrant females who lived in Sindian Ctiy, Taipei County were participated in this study. Semi-structured open ended interview was used for data collection. Each participant was interviewed three to four times and interviews ranged in length from 30 to 90 minutes. Themes were emerged by data analysis. Findings　The shift physical and mental status of the immigrant females can be categorized into five stages: the dream-building stage, the storm stage, the grounding stage, the germination stage, and the bloom stage. At the dream-building stage, the new immigrant females form various expectations toward Taiwan society. Then at the storm stage, these immigrants suffer from both physical and mental problems due to cultural conflicts. The birth of their children leads them into the grounding stage. At the germination stage, support from their family, society and medical system is important. Finally comes to the bloom stage, during which they can express innermost demands and are willing to assist other immigrant females in adapting to new living environment. Three conclusions are made below. First, pregnancy health education needs to focus on guiding their family members to understand and respect their original cultures in order to providing proper postpartum care. Second, community nursing staff should encourage better communication between family members and new immigrant females, discover demands, provide resources and case transfer to facilitate cultural adaptation. At last, adequate information provision, respect for their original cultures, as well as support from immigrants' family members, the society and related medical workers are vital in the process of their cultural adaptation.
