本研究以四對家庭中育有3-6歲身心障礙幼兒之父母為研究對象,透過訪談與調查研究方式,採生態系統理論為基礎架構,經由夫妻雙方觀點來探究身心障礙幼兒父親之父職參與情形。根據父職參與的三個父職行為內涵(父職參與互動行為、父職參與接近行為、父職參與責任行為)檢驗父親執行父職參與的實際行為,以生態系統中父親本身、父親配偶(母親)、情境脈絡因素作為影響面向的分析。根據研究結論,本研究對國內未來福利政策及研究方向提出具體的建議。 研究結果發現: 1.四位父親父職參與行為之差異與個人觀念、態度及工作型態等因素有關。 2.在三項父職行為最常參與依序為「父職參與責任行為」、「父職參與互動行為」、「父職參與接近行為」。 3.父職參與責任行為較常參與的父職行為項目依序為:「交通接送」、「就醫/復健」、「購物」、「認知學習」。 4.父職參與互動行為較常參與的父職行為項目依序為:「遊戲與陪伴活動」、「家庭事務活動」、「成就有關的活動」、「個人照顧活動」、「社會活動」。 5.父職參與接近行為較常參與的父職行為項目依序為:「做自己的事」、「陪伴孩子」、「家務工作」。 6.身心障礙幼兒父親的父職參與深受不同系統影響。其中,父親個人的父職信念價值牽動著父親的親職實踐;母親的父職信念對先生的支持態度與期待,造就不同效能的父職;工作就業與經濟、社會支持等客觀情境因素,亦會鬆動父親最初所持有的父職信念,並轉而調整其父職的履行。

Other factors, such as status of employment and financial, social support, might make differences in father participation.
