本研究之目的在於分析單親成長團體所探討的主題，藉由比較團體進行前的預懸目標與團體進行主題的一致性，以了解該團體設計是否妥當，是否在有效的狀況下進行，以作為設計單親成長團體及擬定評量變項的依據。本研究之研究對象來自彰化縣自願報名團體諮商的單親，共計九人報名，經研究者晤談篩選後共有五名參加為期十週的團體諮商。本研究團體過程中成員所探討的主題，以質的研究開放式編碼的方式進行內容分析，研究結果如下： 一、團體的主題 在十次團體過程中，發現成員所關切的議題共有21類，分別為相互認識、自我介紹，團體活動進行方式的討論，角色負擔，與前任配偶的關係及互動，探討離婚的原因，前任配偶與孩子的關係，親子溝通、親子關係，管教子女的態度與方法，孩子行為問題，小孩歸屬、監護權、照顧問題，孩子對離婚的看法，家人對離婚的看法、態度，婚姻訴訟、相關法律問題，離婚所造成的影響，對離婚、婚姻及外遇問題的看法，再婚問題，信念、價值觀、人生觀，情緒困擾、生活困擾，團體對自己的幫助，談論團體外的事，知識、經驗的分享。 二、類別間的比較 在十次團體過程中被討論最多的主題依序是：情緒困擾與生活困擾，親子溝通、親子關係，管教子女的態度與方法，孩子行為問題，離婚所造成的影響，其中親子溝通、親子關係、管教子女的態度與方法、孩子的行為問題等主題的共同焦點均在孩子身上，可見成員除了關切自身的適應問題外，也關切子女的適應問題。 三、每次團體的主題 第一次團體的主題集中在相互認識、自我介紹及管教子女的態度與方法。第二次的議題集中在情緒困擾、生活困擾及團體活動進行方式的討論。第三次團體主要焦點為親子溝通、親子關係。第四次團體焦點集中在親子溝通、親子關係、管教子女的態度與方法。第五次談論焦點為管教子女的態度與方法、探討離婚的原因。第六次團體焦點為探討離婚的原因、情緒困擾與生活團擾。第七次團體集中在討論情緒困擾、生活困擾與婚姻訴訟、相關法律問題。第八次團體成員話題的焦點則集中在信念、價值觀、人生觀、管教子女的態度與方法、孩子行為問題、情緒困擾、生活困擾與團體對自己的幫助。第九次團體的話題主要集中在孩子行為問題、情緒困擾與生活困擾。第十次團體則主要討論團體對自己的幫助。 四、團體發展階段與主題的比較 團體初期成員的主題集中在相互認識、自我介紹、團體活動進行方式的討論、角色負擔、與前任配偶的關係及互動、親子溝通、親子關係、管教子女的態度與方法、離婚所造成的影響、對離婚、婚姻、婚姻及外遇問題的看法、情緒困擾、生活困擾。 團體中期成員的主題集中在角色負擔、與前任配偶的關係及互動、探討離婚的原因、管教子女的態度與方法、孩子行為問題、小孩歸屬、監護權、照顧問題、婚姻訴訟、相關法律問題、離婚所造成的影響、對離婚、婚姻及外遇問題的看法、再婚問題、情緒困擾、生活困擾、知識經驗的分享。團體後期的焦點則圍繞在親子溝通、親子關係、管教子女的態度與方法、孩子行為問題、信念、價值觀、人生觀、情緒困擾、生活困擾、團體對自己的幫助。 五、預懸團體目標與團體主題的比較 將團體過程分析所得的主題與團體進行前領導者團體設計預憊的目標相比較，發現頗為一致。只有少數不一致之處，如團體預憊的目標中希望擴展成員的活動及興趣範圍較少在本次團體觸及。而團體進行過程中有幾項主題是原先沒有預定的，角色負擔、團體對自己的幫助、知識、經驗的分享等，另外出現，談論團體外的事，則是成員較無效的溝通，從整個團體過程來看，談論團體外的事出現的次數並不多，足以推測團體尚在有效進行過程之中。 本研究針對上述結果加以討論，並提出對未來研究及輔導實務的建議。

It was the intention of this study to analyze each of the explored topics in a single parent's group.

But a few of them were not consistent. For example: the leader hope to expand members activities and interest, but they were seldom mentioned about. During the group sessions, some topics which were not predictive were found, like discussing burden of roles, helping from the group, sharing about knowledge and experience. Besides, talking about things from outside of group was non-effective communication between members. But its frequencey is low during entire stages, so researcher just estimate the group was progressing effectively. Results were discussed and suggestions for future study and guidance practice were presented.
