本研究採擷深度訪談的方式,目的是瞭解肢體障礙者參與運動團體的經驗和社會支持間彼此的影響。研究結果顯示:一、良好的運動團體參與經驗,將積極促使身心障礙者投入運動團體之中;二、參與運動團體能夠提供肢體障礙者完整的社會支持作用;三、參與運動團體能發展社會支持,惟工具性支持有局限性,仍仰賴家庭的援手。本研究結論指出肢體障礙者參與運動團體時,豐富的交流機會,促進肢體障礙者社會支持網絡發展的可能性,並且因此帶來合適的關係發展機會。建議如下:一、鼓勵肢體障礙者參與運動團體,期盼肢體障礙者家人展現支持的態度;二、建請運動團體設定適當成員個人發展目標,增進成就感,為肢體障礙者參與運動帶來正面影響;三、籲請政府規劃並鼓勵成立社區運動團體,以及設置社區型運動中心,扶助更加多元之運動團體的發展。
The purpose of this study is to understand the mutual impact between the experience of participation in sports groups and social support of people with physical disabilities by using in-depth interview. The results show that: 1. Good experience in sports groups encourages people with physical disabilities to participate in sports groups; 2. Their social support network can provide complete social support; 3. Participating in sports groups can promote the development of social support, but the instrumental support which families offer is irreplaceable. This study concludes that participating in sports groups provides people with physical disabilities with ample opportunities for interaction. Therefore, they could expand their social support network, and find appropriate relationships. The suggestions are as follows: 1. People with disabilities and their families should participate in sports groups; 2. Sports groups should increase the opportunities for members to interact. They also can cooperate with communities and medical institutions to increase exposure; 3. The government should support multiple sports groups, and build community sports centers.
