「家庭復原力」是指家庭能在面對困難或壓力情境時,隨著時空演進,藉由運用家庭擁有的內在、外在資源,並在眾多保護因子與危險因子交互作用下,達到適應困境、維持生活的目標。此概念有助於醫護人員了解家庭克服逆境的過程,可運用於臨床,以助正向促進個體及家庭的健康照護結果。本文旨在運用Walker及Avant(2011)提出的概念分析步驟,包括1.闡述家庭復原力的定義性特徵;2.列舉典型案例、邊緣案例、及相反案例;3.確認家庭復原力的前置因子與後果;4.評析現行的實證性測量工具等。期望透過「家庭復原力」概念,有助於臨床實務及研究等領域之應用,促使醫護人員更好的發展健康照護理念及措施,協助家庭在困難或壓力情境下達到內、外在動態平衡的正向適應,進而促進整體健康照護結果。
"Family resilience" means that a family can adapt to a dilemma and maintain the goals of life during difficult or stressful situations by using family's own internal and external resources, and ongoing interactions with many protective risk factors. This concept helps health care providers understand the family's process of overcoming adversity and may be applied clinically to positively promote the health care outcomes of individuals and families. The purpose of this paper is to use the conceptual analysis steps proposed by Walker and Avant (2011) including 1. Describe the defining characteristics of family resilience; 2. List typical cases, marginal cases, and vice versa; 3. Confirm the front of family resilience factors and consequences; and 4. Analysis of current empirical measurement tools. It is hoped that through this paper, clinical health care providers will be able to apply this concept in clinical practices and researches, promoting the development of health care concepts and measures to help families achieve internal and external dynamic equilibrium under difficult or stressful situations, thereby improving health care outcomes.
