摘要


摘要 寄養家庭服務是為了照顧、保護寄養兒童,但每年寄養家庭的流失高,造成寄養家庭數量不足,無法供應總安置的兒童數量,另外也會影響寄養兒童安置配對的選擇。然而寄養家庭終止寄養服務,寄養兒童將面臨再安置或轉機構安置的狀況,無形中影響寄養服務品質。 本文透過質化研究,採半結構式深度訪談終止寄養父母。首先,希望了解終止寄養家庭的動機與想像,其次,了解終止寄養家庭的想法轉折與原因,終止的決策歷程,做為寄養機構將來面對終止寄養家庭的預防與因應措施。本研究發現受訪的6位終止寄養父母,對於寄養服務想像與實際照顧落差大、寄養服務也是工作的轉換期、兒童行為與特質讓寄養家庭照顧壓力大、新手寄養家庭照顧流蕩的孩子陣亡快、寄養家庭對寄養兒童期待高失望亦高、寄養家庭遇到困難求助無門。最後期待招募寄養家庭以照顧困難兒童為訴求、寄養配對需符合寄養家庭的期待並詳細告知寄養兒童狀況、重新檢視寄養訓練課程更具真實性。

Abstract Foster families provide day-to-day care for children who are in need of out-of-home placement. However, there has been a high turnover trend among foster families which causes shortage supply in meeting urgent placement needs and matching options among children of out-of-home placement. Fostered children could face replacement or transition to another foster care arrangement when the high turnover rate continues. The purpose of this study is to explore why and how foster parents decided to discontinue their fostership. This study used a qualitative approach to indepth interviewing six former foster parents to inquire about their reason to discontinue providing foster care. This study found that the limited matching options of expected children age, the unexpected challenges in caring for difficult children, not enough training to cope with care difficulties, and not gaining enough support during difficult times from social workers. Adding up, foster parents decided to discontinue their fostership. Lastly, this study included research and practice implications on how to recruit and train foster parents.
