摘要

本研究探討24位居住於台北都會地區離婚且單親的原住民婦女離婚後的生活適應。以深度訪談的方式蒐集資料，經登錄及開放式編碼後再以內容分析法的方式進行資料分析。分析結果如下：(1)原住民婦女離婚的原因以家庭暴力為最多，其次為外遇、經濟上的問題及配偶的不良嗜好（酗酒、賭博）、種族歧視、早婚等等的問題。(2)原住民離婚婦女由於教育程度普遍偏低及社會存在對原住民身份的歧視、社會網絡的侷限等，導致婦女離婚後其生活適應遭受到很大的壓力。(3)原住民婦女離婚後在情感上的歸屬多尋求於同性的支持，經濟上的需求較多尋求於原生家庭的資助，反而很少尋求政府福利的補助。藉此研究希望相關單位能夠鼓勵原住民婦女社區參與及增加其知識、改善社會福利申請的流程增加其便利性及增加在職訓練以提昇其就業技能等。

Twenty-four divorced and single-parent indigenous women living in metropolitan Taipei were interviewed for this research study, the purpose of which was to understand the adaptability of indigenous women following divorce. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. Findings were as follows: (1) Family violence is the principal cause of divorce, followed by extramarital relations, economic problems, spouses' bad habits (e. g. , excessive drinking, gambling), racial discrimination, and marriage at an early age. (2) Factors that negatively affect adaptability following divorce include low level of education, limited financial means, and narrow social networks. Society's racial discrimination against indigenous women further hinders the process of adaptation. (3) After divorce, indigenous women tend to seek emotional support from family and friends. Most seek financial aid from blood relatives rather than through government social welfare programs. Future policies should be developed to encourage indigenous women to participate in community activities and to better understand their legal rights in divorce. The government should make the social welfare application process more convenient and should conduct more job training to enhance the occupational skills of indigenous women.
