本研究旨在探討單親家長之共親職之經驗,採用質性研究之深度訪談法,招募4名離婚兩年以上之單親家長進行半結構訪談,並以Boeije的螺旋模式分析法進行資料分析,並彙整研究結果。研究結果發現如下: 單親家長的親職調適,受到離婚後個人適應情形以及支持系統之影響。親職調適情形佳,單親家長越能放下過往與前配偶的感情、衝突,以父母的身分與前配偶合作共親職,讓子女能持續與前配偶聯繫,以子女的福祉為考量。單親家長與前配偶的互動模式不盡相同,分別為「理性合作」、「衝突角力」或「平行無交集」之模式。單親家長與前配偶理性合作,讓單親子女感到雙方對自己的關愛及支持,子女與雙方關係維繫良好;而衝突角力則使子女感到為難、矛盾,帶給子女負向身心發展。而雙方平行無交集,則讓單親家長之共親職對象轉移到前配偶的親屬,以協調子女照顧事宜。當前配偶未能落實共親職之責任,使單親家長逐漸不期待,轉而獨自承擔照顧子女。生態系統中不確定的阻礙使共親職產生變化,讓單親家長感到擔憂及無法掌控。單親家長發展不同策略支持自己,以因應共親職之阻礙,包括自我調整及降低對子女的負面影響。最後,本研究針對研究結果進行討論並提供相關建議。
The purpose of this research is to explore the experience of single parent’s Co-Parenting. Four single parents who have been divorced for more than two years were recruited to conduct semi-structured interviews by using qualitative in-depth interview method. Hennie Boeije's “spiral of analysis” was adopted as the data analysis method, which formed the results. The main findings of this research were as follows: Parental adjustment of single parents is influenced by personal adjustment and support system after divorce. The better the parental adjustment is, the more single parents can let go of the past feelings and conflicts with their former spouses, and cooperate with their former spouses as parents, so that their children can keep in touch with their former spouses, based on the well-being of their children. There are three modes of co-parenting between single parents and their former spouses: cooperative co-parenting, conflicted coparental relationships, Parents in parallel co-parenting relationships. Cooperation between single parents and their ex spouses makes single children feel their love and support, and the relationship between them is maintained well. Conflict makes children feel embarrassed and contradictory, and brings negative physical and mental development to children in order to coordinate the care of children, the single parent's co-parenting partner is transferred to the former spouse's relatives. The former spouse failed to fulfill the responsibility of co-parenting, which gradually disappointed single parents and turned to take care of their children alone. The uncertain obstacles in the ecosystem make the co-parenting change, which makes single parents feel worried and uncontrollable. Single parents develop different strategies to support themselves to cope with the obstacles of co-parenting, including self adjustment and reducing the negative impact on their children. Finally, this study discussed and provide Suggestions for the results of the study.
