This study aimed to develop a grounded theory regarding the associations between factors identified in the adaptation process of 11 fathers of multicultural families. Participants were recruited purposively and data were collected through in-depth interviews. Data analysis was performed alongside data collection, following Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method. The following 11 categories were derived from the data: (1) a reluctantly formed multicultural family, (2) finding happiness amid confusion, (3) cultural differences, (4) economic difficulties, (5) social prejudice and alienation, (6) restrictions on the use of local services, (7) facing multiple obstacles, (8) people who provided strength and support, (9) accepting differences and moving forward, (10) growth with family, and (11) being made to stay. The core category was identified as "struggling to protect the family with a double burden." This theory described the adaptation process of being a father in a multicultural family and participants' reactions to the circumstances around it. Based on this theory, health policies should be developed to support not only the expansion of medical facilities in island and rural areas but also the activation of self-help groups. Future research should include the development of web-based prenatal management and parental education in immigrants' native languages.
本研究旨在针对11位多元文化家庭父亲适应过程中所确定的因素之间的关联，构建一种扎根理论。通过目的性抽样招募参与者，并通过深度访谈收集数据。按照施特劳斯和科尔宾的扎根理论方法，在数据收集的同时进行数据分析。从数据中得出了以下11个类别：（1）勉强组建的多元文化家庭；（2）在困惑中寻找幸福；（3）文化差异；（4）经济困难；（5）社会偏见与疏离；（6）当地服务使用受限；（7）面临多重障碍；（8）给予力量和支持的人；（9）接受差异并向前迈进；（10）与家人共同成长；（11）被迫留下。核心类别被确定为“背负双重负担努力保护家庭”。该理论描述了多元文化家庭中父亲的适应过程以及参与者对周围环境的反应。基于这一理论，应制定卫生政策，不仅支持岛屿和农村地区医疗设施的扩展，还支持自助团体的活跃。未来的研究应包括开发基于网络的以移民母语进行的产前管理和家长教育。
