親子遊戲治療團體對提升母子關係之研究──以新住民母親為例

The Study on Promoting New-Inhabitant Mother-Child Relationship through Filial Play Therapy Group

本研究主要目的在於瞭解親子遊戲治療團體對提升新住民母親與其子女親子關係之狀況。本研究以四位居住於台南市之新住民母親為研究參與者，且採用Landreth的親子遊戲治療十週模式，於團體中教導新住民母親基本的兒童中心遊戲治療的態度與技巧，並於第三次團體後，於家中進行每週一次、每次三十分鐘，共計七次的家中親子遊戲單元。團體結束後，研究者依循詮釋現象學方法論，透過半結構的深度訪談以及「主題分析法」來對受訪者的主體經驗進行意義的探尋。研究結果發現：新住民母親對親子互動與教養信念覺察能力之成長、新住民母親教養態度與行為之正向轉變、新住民母親親職效能感之增進及新住民母親及其子女親子關係之提升。

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the effectiveness of 10- week children-centered filial play therapy model to facilitate mother-child relationship. The four participants in this study were identified as new-inhabitant mothers (who were originally from other countries, such as Mainland China and Vietnam, and later were married to Taiwanese husbands) in Tainan. Based on Landreth's 10-week filial play therapy model, the participants were taught to adopt children-centered play therapy attitude and skills in groups for three weeks. After three weeks, the participants then employed weekly 30-minute filial play session at home for seven weeks. Using in-depth semi-structural interview design and thematic analysis approach, we found that after 10 weeks, the new-inhabitant mothers (n = 4), who were trained to apply filial play therapy model and to conduct weekly play time with their children, had developed better awareness of their beliefs in parenting children. The participants also reported to have developed positive attitude and skills in interacting with their children. As a result, they had improved the quality of their relationship with children by increasing a sense of intimacy with their children and enhancing a better sense of effectiveness of parenting children after receiving filial play therapy training.
