| Research Abstract |
To improve supports for a family with a disabled child, this study was intended to delineate father's adaptation process and needs when he was confronted to a life with a disabled child. Semi-structural interview was carried out to 14 fathers who had a disabled child after the informed consent was obtained. Each interview took 1.5 to 2.5 hour and tape-recorded, and later analyzed by means of a qualitative study. The study revealed 1)most fathers said they have accepted the situation without others' help, 2)some decided to change their jobs to improve the care of their disabled children, 3)not disabled siblings mostly provided positive effects for the fathers and families, although very severe handicap often prevented the parents from having another child, 4)if communication and understanding between the parents was well established, father's role could vary in each family.
According to the findings, we propose following supports to be developed, 1)easy access for helpful information and professionals such as a care manager for a disabled child, 2)opportunity to communicate with other fathers, 3)support to improve the relationship of the parents (counseling opportunity for the parents), 4)improvement of basic supports for the family including respite care.
