本研究旨在探討第一胎準父親在配偶住院安胎期間的生活經驗。以描述性現象學法，採立意取樣的方式在中南部一家區域教學醫院進行收案，透過與研究對象一對一深入訪談的方式來收集資料，共收進了六位研究對象的訪談資料、研究者將訪談資料謄寫為逐字稿後，再依照調整後的Colaizzi的分析步驟加以歸類整理。由六位研究對象所提供的資料中發現，第一胎準父親在其配偶住院安胎期間所經間的生活經驗可歸納為五個主題，包括：「陷入茫然困惑的窘境」、「面對困境，力求突破」、「盡其所能、承擔照顧者工作」、「將為人父、充滿期盼」、「回首來時路，百感交集」。本研究結果可以提供護理人員在照顧安胎家庭時，瞭解安胎對整個家庭所造成的影響，並且提供安胎家庭以角庭為中心的護理，進而提升照護品質。

The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of first-expectant fathers whose spouses undergo tocolysis in the hospital. The study was conducted by the descriptive phenomenological method. On the basis of the qualitative method, the data were subjected to Colaizz’s content analysis by means of the constant comparison method. Data were collected through one-on-one interviews with six expectant fathers. The findings revealed that the experiences of the fathers could be summarized under the following five themes: being confused and absent-minded in an awkward situation, facing difficulty and attempting to identify solutions, breaking through the dilemma, looking forward to being a father, and looking back with complicated feelings. The findings of this study should provide nursing staff in charge of family-centered maternity care with information about how tocolysis influences the families of first-born babies. They should also contribute to improvements in nursing quality.
