本研究旨在建立一套喪親兒童繪本團體方案,並透過實際運用,瞭解繪本和喪親兒童哀悼歷程的相關性、以及繪本使用於喪親兒童團體的特色與實用性。本繪本團體成員爲喪親二到四年的國小四、五年級兒童共四名,團體成員參與每次四十分鐘,共計十三單元之繪本團體諮商。本研究於團體前、後對團體成員家長與導師進行訪談表訪談,團體過程中全程錄音、錄影並轉錄爲逐字稿進行分析。本研究主要發現爲:透過主題性挑選,本繪本方案可用於探索喪親兒童的哀悼歷程,且成員參與繪本團體後生活適應狀況有所改善、悲傷反應獲得紓解。本研究最後依據繪本方案實際使用於喪親兒童團體的情形與研究結果,重新修正與建立一套可供未來實務工作者可參考的新繪本團體方案,並提出未來研究與實務之建議。
