青少女未婚懷孕的現象引起國內許多研究者的關注,有鑑於家長為懷孕青少女的重要他人,對於生育決策具有一定程度的影響力,本研究以家長的角度出發,採取質性研究方法針對家長如何處理青少女的未婚生子事件進行探討,透過本研究可瞭解:一、懷孕青少女的原生家庭樣貌以及親子關係;二、家長處理青少女未婚生子事件之考量、態度與方法;三、家長處理青少女未婚生子事件所發揮的功能和扮演的角色;四、青少女未婚生子事件對於家庭的影響。本研究使用立意抽樣,選取符合條件的家長進行訪問,樣本來源包含機構引薦以及透過友人介紹。
依據研究目的,研究者與八位家長一對一進行深度訪談,研究結果如下:
一、家長處理青少女未婚生子是做全面性的思考以及整合性的考量,主要考量含括四個層面:(一)青少女:發現時懷孕的週數、重視青少女的學業、衡量青少女撫養小孩的能力、受到青少女意願之影響;(二)家長:家長想終止懷孕的事實、家庭支持的有無和多寡;(三)男方:男方處理事件的態度、男方對於婚姻的看法;(四)社會:顧及社會觀感及眼光、順應社會期待。
二、家長於事件主要扮演五個角色:協助決策者、法定代理者、資訊蒐集者、教育者、照顧者,每個角色執行該角色所應該發揮之功能。
三、本研究主要從「懷孕階段」以及「留養階段」來瞭解事件對於家庭的影響,在「懷孕階段」家長因為一時無法接受而產生「情緒上的衝擊」,隨著孫子即將到來,也需面臨「角色的轉變」,未婚生子事件會牽動整個家庭,使得「家庭系統改變」,在「留養階段」,多數家庭面臨「經濟負擔沉重」、「家庭成員需協助承擔照顧責任」的議題。
四、青少女的未婚生子事件可能造成家庭的壓力,本研究採用家庭壓力理論,並結合社會環境的觀點,瞭解家庭目前擁有的資源多寡以及對於事件的解讀,相互影響形成壓力程度,連結相關資源並裝備家庭能力以渡過壓力和危機。
五、針對未婚生子青少女之家庭與家長的需求對實務工作、服務體系以及未來研究此三方面提出相關建議,做為未來實務工作、政策制定以及研究之參考。 / The phenomenon of premarital birth to adolescent girls has drawn a great attention from many researchers in Taiwan. Due to the parents play an important role for pregnant adolescent girls in terms of possessing a certain degree of influence over reproductive decision making, the study takes stance of parents’ perspective and employs qualitative research method to discuss how parents deal with the premarital birth to adolescent girls. We can understand the followings through this study: 1.The original family and the parent-child relationship of pregnant adolescent girls. 2. The concerns, attitudes and methods taken by parents when dealing with premarital birth to adolescent girls. 3. The function and role played by parents when dealing with premarital birth to adolescent girls. 4. The influence of premarital birth to adolescent girls on the family. The study employs purposive sampling to select eligible parents for interview. The source of samples comprises agency referrals and through introduction by friends.
According to the research purpose, the researcher conducted one-to-one in-depth interview with eight parents. The study results are described in the follows:
1. Parents deal with premarital birth to adolescent girls through a comprehensive thinking and integrated consideration, mainly taking into consideration of the following four dimensions: (1) Adolescent girls: number of pregnant weeks upon discovery, emphasis on the academics of adolescent girls, evaluation on the ability of adolescent girls raising the child, influence by the intention of adolescent girls. (2) Parents: parents wishing to terminate fact of pregnancy, availability and amount of family support. (3) Male: how male handle this incident, male views on marriage. (4) Society: taking into account the social perception and opinions, conforming to social expectations.
2. Parents mainly play five roles in this incident: Assisting decision makers, statutory agent, information collector, educator, and caregivers. Each role should execute the supposed functions to be played by the role.
3. The study mainly gets an insight on the influence of the incident on family through the “pregnancy stage” and the “baby raising stage.” At the “pregnancy stage, parents will face with “emotional impacts”, because they are temporarily unable to accept the fact. However, following the coming of their grandchildren, they also face with “changing roles.” The incident of premarital birth will affect the whole family, causing “family system to change” and most families face with issues such as “heavy economic burden” and “family members needing to assist with care-taking responsibilities” during the “baby raising stage.”
4. The incidence of premarital birth to adolescent girls could cause pressure to family. The study adopts family pressure theory and combines with the views of social environment in order to understand the amount of resources owned by families and the interpretation to the incidents, affecting each other to form the degree of pressure and connecting relevant resources in order to equip the family with ability to get through the stress and crisis.
5. The study has proposed relevant recommendations on the practical work, service system and future research in accordance with the requirements from families of adolescent girls with premarital birth and the parents. Such recommendations can be used as reference for future practice, policy making and research.
