支持性團體對國小輔導教師自我照顧之影響

The Effects of a Support Group on Self-Care for Elementary School Counselors

本研究旨在探討支持團體方案對國小輔導教師自我照顧之影響。本研究採單組前後測設計，研究對象為中部地區國小輔導教師共7名，對其實施為期8週，每週1次，每次2小時之實驗處理。研究者以「國小輔導教師自我照顧量表」為研究工具，所得資料以Wilcoxon符號等級檢定進行統計考驗，以探討實驗處理的效果。此外，研究者整理歸納團體歷程及焦點團體訪談等質性資料並進行分析，以作為研究結果的佐證及輔助。本研究發現，支持團體方案對於國小輔導教師之自我照顧，在「國小輔導教師自我照顧量表」之總分及「心理層面」分量表得分具有效果。在質性資料分析結果中，支持團體方案對於整體自我照顧行為與「心理層面」之正面影響，以及對其自我照顧的品質與態度的轉變。其中包含深入理解自我，承認自身限制，鬆綁自我評價，從不同角度展開新的行動，甚至藉由團體回饋塑造出更具彈性的自我。此外，團體介入更增加成員對自我照顧的重視，促使自我照顧行為樣態多元化，以及將日常生活賦予意義感，進而豐厚生命。最後，根據本研究結果的發現進行討論並提出若干建議，以提供學校輔導工作者與主管機關，及未來研究之參考。

"The study aimed to examine how a support group affected the working challenges of elementary school counselors, and to develop suitable self-care strategy in accordance with the research findings. Applying the one-group pretest-posttest design as the research method, seven target audiences who matched the criteria were selected from elementary schools in central Taiwan, receiving a group consultation two hours a week, for a total of eight weeks. The research retrieved quantitative data both from the pretest and the posttest of the self-care sheet, and processed the statistical analysis of the Wilcoxon signed rank test to explore parts of the research findings. Additionally, accompanying the focus group interview, this study thoroughly collected qualitative data such as the perceptions of participation in the academic research, which significantly helped to demonstrate the effectiveness of the support group on self-care. The following conclusions were the results of the study: The support group had counseling effects on the self-care of elementary school counselors, as shown by the total scores in the self-care sheet and the scores of the ""mental facet"" subscale. The qualitative data analysis shows similar results, i.e., the support group had a positive impact on the overall self-care behavior and mental facets. Furthermore, it presents rich information related to the changes in the quality and attitude toward to their own self-care. Finally, suggestions for future study, and clinical applications based on results of this study were provided for researchers, school counselors and the competent authority."
