摘要

近年來台灣生育率逐年下降，愈來愈多夫妻傾向不生育，使得未育兒夫妻逐年增加。本研究以生命歷程理論作為研究架構，研究目的在於瞭解未育兒夫妻的生活滿意度，進一步分析影響夫妻生活滿意度的因素，以提供實務工作者、社會大眾參考。
本研究以量化方法進行研究，採用問卷調查法進行施測，研究對象以滾雪球方法邀請結婚一年以上且未養育子女之夫妻參與研究，測量工具包括「自我概念量表」、「夫妻支持量表」、「生育價值量表」、「社會評價量表」、「性生活滿意度量表」、「婚姻滿意度量表」、「生活滿意度量表」及「個人基本資料」，以夫妻個別分析及對偶分析瞭解未育兒夫妻對於現階段生活的滿意程度。
本研究有效問卷共211份，其中包含86對夫妻。在個別分析方面，研究結果顯示，夫妻支持、性生活滿意度、婚姻滿意度及結婚年齡能顯著地預測未育兒夫或妻的生活滿意度，即夫妻相互支持度愈佳、性生活及婚姻滿意度愈好、結婚年齡愈早者，其對於現階段生活愈滿意；未育兒夫妻的對偶分析，夫妻之整體婚姻滿意度及整體性生活滿意度可預測未育兒夫妻生活滿意度，意即夫妻整體婚姻滿意度及性生活滿意度愈好，其生活滿意度愈佳。
本研究發現，夫妻間的生活品質並不因尚未傳宗接代而受到影響，影響已婚夫妻生活滿意度的關鍵因素為夫妻對婚姻及性生活的滿意度，建議夫妻應重視性生活品質及婚姻品質，以維持良好的生活品質。

In recent years, Taiwan's fertility rate has decreased annually as more and more couples decide not to have children, and the number of childless couples increases every year. This study using life course theory as a research framework, aimed to understand the life satisfaction of childless couple to further analyze the factors associated with their life satisfaction. The findings should provide useful information forpractitioners and the community.
This study employed a quantitative research method, and the data were collected by questionnaire survey. Childless couples married for more than one year were selected by snowball sampling. The measurements included self-concept scale, couple’s support scale, pregnancy value scale, social judgement scale, sexual satisfaction scale, marital satisfaction scale, life satisfaction scale, and personal information. Data analysis adopted individual analysis and dual analysis to understand the childless couple’s life satisfaction.
In total, 211 effective questionnaires were received from 86 couples. In individual analysis, the results showed that couple’s support, sexual satisfaction, marital satisfaction, and age at marriage significantly predicted the life satisfaction of the childless husband or wife. The level of satisfaction was higher when the couple’s support was better, sexual satisfaction and marital satisfaction were better, and the age of marriage was younger. In dyadic data analysis, couples’ overall marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction predicted the childless couple’s life satisfaction, indicating that when a couple’s overall marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction are better, their life satisfaction will be better.
The study found that the quality of life of the husband and wife was not affected by not continuing the family line. Instead, marital satisfaction and sexual satisfaction were the key factors that affected a childless couple’s life satisfaction. It is recommended that couples pay attention to the quality of their sex life and marital quality in order to maintain a good quality of life.
