本研究探討生育先天性缺陷兒對家庭的影響。研究對象為衛生署登記的八十年度生育光天性缺陷兒家庭,以郵寄問卷及電話訪問的方式收集資料,以SPSS電腦軟體和內容分析法分析資料,共有51個家庭參與本研究。 研究結果發現先天性缺陷兒對母親的影響是多方面的,缺陷特性的嚴重度、配偶及其他有意義家人的態度、醫護人員的態度會影響母親對缺陷兒的感受及態度。所以護理人員在照護生育先天性缺陷兒母親時,應慎加注意本身的官行態度,同時須瞭解其他有意義家人的態度與需要,才能幫助母親調適因生育先天性缺陷兒帶來的壓力與影響,進而協助整個家庭的適應過程。研究結果顯示生育先天性缺陷兒對父親亦同樣造成影響,但對母親的影響大於對父親的影響。 其它家人,包括手足及(外)祖父母,也不可避免的有哀傷及情緒反應。因生育光天性缺陷兒會對整個家庭帶來影響,建議衛生機構、社會福利及教育當局提供適切的服務。
