摘要

本質性研究是一個先驅研究，主要在分析兩位中年婦女面對空巢期的經驗。本研究以帕西斯理論觀點為基礎，以巨觀理論的過程和技術進行資料分析。結果顯示婦女面對空巢期時有複雜的情緒反應，包括憂傷、解放、自我懷疑、真愛、懷念、交戰過渡期、調適焦慮與否定，尋找支持，和正向的感覺。一般而言，空巢期給個案複雜的感覺。研究建議提供給中年婦女的諮詢須著重個別化與個人的情境因子。

This qualitative research was a pilot study, which was designed with the aim of exploring the experience of empty nest from two women's perspective. The transcripts were analyzed followed the procedures and techniques of ground theory. The theoretical perspective of the study was based on Parse Theory. Results addressed that women undergoing the empty nest experience encountered complicated emotions, in which the following themes were elicited: feeling sad, feeling relived, wondering about oneself, loving children, dealing with missing someone, dealing with transition, coping with anxieties and denial, seeking supports, and feeling positive. In general, the empty nest gave the subjects mixed feelings. The study suggests that developmental counseling for middle-aged women cannot exist in standard programs with same aims for all participants, but should begin with individuals and situational determinants of each woman.
