兒少手足共同安置於團體家庭之工作經驗探討

作為台灣第一家提供兒少手足共同安置的團體家庭，若干經驗與過去本研究之機構發展的安置照顧經驗相同，但也存在更多差異。國內目前的團體家庭方案多針對特殊照顧需求兒少提供服務，本文主要聚焦兒少手足共同安置於團體家庭的工作經驗探討，成果顯示兒少手足接受安置照顧服務後，在睡眠穩定、自我認同、人際關係、情緒與衝突管理上有正向發展。同時，透過照顧工作者在行動過程進行檢視與反思，包括開案標準、家庭動力、行為輔導、家庭規則、介入策略、專業合作、專業父母的角色等議題。最後，研究建議持續發展兒少手足共同安置適合的實務模式、落實家庭關係修復與手足維繫，步驟化返家計畫與培育自立生活能力、加強團體家庭照顧者的培訓與反思、由下而上的倡議目前國內安置體制的限制、修正對團體家庭及其工作人員的過度期待與設置辦法等，並期待上述的研究結果提供未來家外安置實務的參考。

As a first child group home with young siblings in Taiwan, the practitioners not only use their past practical experiences of residential care, but also find out a lot of different strategies and experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the working experiences with young siblings in child group home. The results revealed the effectiveness of intervention for these children, including: sleeping stability, self-identity, interpersonal relationships, emotions and conflict management. Care practitioners have some reflections of working experiences in this practical action, such as the standards of in-take, family dynamics, behavior guidance, family rules, strategies of intervention, professional collaboration, and the role of ＂professional parents＂. Lastly, several suggestions were recommended for future practice. (1) Child welfare workers would build the practical model of child group home with young siblings; (2) Social workers would maintain young sibling's bond, and repair their family relationship; (3) Child welfare organizations would strengthen the continuing education and training for group home practitioners; (4) Practitioners would advocate multiple types of out-of-home care; (5) The government would revise the role setting and legislation of child group home.
