原鄉青少年自國小畢業,在無成年家人的陪同,離開原本居住得原鄉,下山就讀體育班是一個存在已久卻常被忽略的現象。本研究欲清楚描繪原鄉青少年在國中階段離家提早下山就讀體育班的原因脈絡、所面臨的挑戰與壓力、及內外在資源如何協助因應壓力,支持他努力持續奮鬥下去。研究選在全台國中體育班人數最多的高雄市,採質性研究深度訪談的方式進行資料蒐集。 從5位研究參與者的故事整理結果發現: 1.原鄉青少年提早離家下山就讀體育班不是不得不的選擇,而是較優先的選項,青少年需符合下山的門檻條件,歷經平地教練與曾下山唸體育班親戚的幕後推手,最後由其家長做出下山的決定。 2.原鄉青少年提早離家下山就讀體育班充滿壓力,包括陌生的都市環境氛圍、對體育班原住民的負面解讀、家庭與同儕支持網絡的位移變動、對體育期待越大失落越大。 3.面對下山種種壓力,原鄉青少年自己內外資源共同發揮作用,協助原鄉青少年順利因應壓力。 4.原鄉青少年本身三種壓力因應方式:暫時性壓力轉移、體育相關積極分析面對、其他面向消極逃避。 5.場域變動雖造成壓力,卻同時建置新的資源網絡,包括教練、原鄉家中長輩、兄姐、學長姐、來自同鄉的伙伴。 基於上述的研究發現,於研究最後針對社工的實務工作與未來研究提出結論與建議。
This research addresses the reasons and patterns behind this phenomenon, the challenges and stress the aboriginal adolescents may face, and the resources and support they can utilize to cope with stress. This research is a qualitative research utilizing in-depth interview to gather information. Following are the findings of interviewing 5 participants: 1 The aboriginal adolescents leaving home for school is not the only choice but the priority option for them. Once the aboriginal adolescent is qualified to be a student athlete, the coaches and their relatives will help their parents to make the decision of sending the aboriginal adolescent leave hometown. 2 The aboriginal adolescents are pressured by the new place, the stereotypes of aborigines and student athletes, the lack of support system and their own expectations toward sports. 3 while encountering the stress, the aboriginal adolescents utilize their inner/outer support to deal with different kinds of pressure. 4 There are three coping strategies: temporarily stress-transferring, positively facing sports-related issues, and being passive-aggressive in other aspects. 5 Leaving hometown can cause stress, however, in the meanwhile, the aboriginal adolescents are building new resource networks including their coaches, other relatives who lives near, classmates and other student athletes. Based on the research findings, the conclusions and suggestions are made focused on how social workers can make influences on this issue in the future.
