Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the aim of providing foster care support to foster children so that they can form secure attachment, the intervention effects were examined by providing foster care support to five special adoptive foster mothers (hereafter referred to as foster mothers) once a month for one year in order to focus on the child's feelings. The results showed that in some cases there were changes in the foster mothers' sense of parenting efficacy, parenting stress and perceptions of their children's problematic behavior. In addition, from the post-intervention interviews, some foster mothers indicated that they became more aware of looking at the feelings behind their children's behavior, suggesting that the intervention methods in this study may have a certain level of effectiveness.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今後、里親(特別養子縁組を含む)のもとで暮らす子どもたちが増加することを考えると、里親支援のあり方について検討することは急務である。本研究の成果により、1か月に1回の介入において、里母が里子の行動の背後にある気持ちについて目を向けられるようになる可能性、養育効力感、育児ストレス、子どもの問題行動の認知についても影響を及ぼす可能性が示唆された。これらの成果は、今後の里親支援のあり方を検討する上で社会的意義があるといえる。
