Abstract

An attempt was made to study the effects of focus group discussions on parental attitude change toward hepatitis B children in Guangzhou in China. The exploration and comparison of the general parental attitude toward HB children and healthy children were also made in this study. A sample of 65 parents of HB child carriers and healthy children was randomly selected and grouped into 7 focus groups containing message on "attitude toward your child and HB children" was administered through questions and discussions. Before and after design was used. Parents of HB child carriers showed more attitude change than parents of healthy children. Parents of healthy children made no change for rejecting the idea of integrating HB children into ordinary kindergarten after discussions.

摘要

本研究欲透過小組討論，探索對廣州父母與子女，及對肝炎兒童態度轉變之影響。它同時亦分析和比較一般父母對健康子女或肝炎子女的態度和差異。六十正對肝炎和健康兒童之父母被隨機抽樣，且分成七組進行，小組用問答及討論的方式進行。討論的主題是「對子女和肝炎兒童的態度」。小組討論作前後分析比較。肝炎父母較健康子女的父母做出較大態度上的轉變，覺得壓力有減輕之趨向，健康子女的父母對於反對肝炎兒童人讀普通幼兒園的看法，並無因小組討論而做出 任何改變。
