本研究探討聽障者婚姻適應的面向及特色，採立意及滚雪球方式取樣， 邀請五位已婚且有子女之聽障者（二男及三女，年齡介於28至38歲間，中 度或重度聽障）進行半結構訪談，並依循質性研究開放性編碼的精神與原則 分析資料。研究先呈現每位受訪者的婚姻適應簡述，並探討其婚姻適應的重 要面向包括：（1)夫妻溝通與互動方面：婚前的互動經驗，成為夫妻關係的 重要基礎；聽障特質影響雙方溝通與衝突處理；溝通意願與正向行動為衝突 化解關鍵；社交與娛樂是夫妻互動的重要支持與潤滑。（2)子女養育層面： 擔憂遣傳是家族需共同突破的痛苦薄籬；自身聽障具有撫育子女的困難；隔 代教養是利弊各半的選擇；辛苦育兒但仍具有生命及家庭的正向價值；職場 生涯的考量與教養子女的需求有其互動消長的關係。（3)姻親關係層面：姻 親關係是重要支持力量，且互動品質受溝通問題影響；家庭結構中的姻親關 係，左右婚姻的自主與發展。本研究也針對聽障者婚姻適應中三個最具有挑 戰性的夫妻、姻親及親子溝通層面進行討論。最後，本研究尚針對聽障者、 教育與輔導人員及未來研究提出建議。
