摘要
赋权的构建与多个领域的众多福祉人群的有益结果有关。在家庭中,赋权已被发现与父母和儿童的幸福有关。因此,赋权似乎是一个很有前途的概念,可以支持年轻(< 18岁)跨性别儿童和青少年的父母;然而,对于跨性别儿童和青少年的父母来说,赋权意味着什么还不得而知。本研究旨在描述跨性别儿童和青少年的父母从他们的生活经历中获得的赋权。为了实现这一目标,采用反身性主题分析实施了定性设计,以描述N = 18(12名母亲和6名父亲)澳大利亚跨性别儿童和18岁以下青少年的父母的赋权生活经验。四个主要主题最好地描述了参与者提供的账户,授权包括(1)拥有知识和信息,(2)倡导他们的孩子或青少年,(3)体验归属感,以及(4)体验专业人士和系统的支持和帮助。这些发现支持为家长建立高质量、易于获取和理解的信息资源,并支持专业人士和组织提供更好的教育和培训,以增强跨性别儿童和青少年父母的权力。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。
Lived experiences of empowerment in parents of trans children and adolescents.
The construct of empowerment is associated with beneficial outcomes in numerous populations with well-being across multiple domains. Within families, empowerment has been found to be related to both parent and child well-being. As such, empowerment appears to be a promising concept to support parents of young (< 18 years) trans and gender diverse children and adolescents; however, what empowerment means for parents of trans children and adolescents is not known. This study aimed to characterize empowerment for parents of trans and gender diverse children and adolescents from their lived experiences. To accomplish this, a qualitative design was implemented using reflexive thematic analysis to describe what the lived experience of empowerment is for N = 18 (12 mothers and six fathers) Australian parents of trans children and adolescents under 18 years of age. Four primary themes best described the accounts offered by the participants, with empowerment consisting of (1) having knowledge and information, (2) advocating for their child or adolescent, (3) experiencing a sense of belonging to an accepting community, and (4) experiencing support and help from professionals and systems. These findings support establishing high-quality, easy-to-access, and understandable informational resources for parents and better education and training of professionals and organizations to enhance the empowerment of parents of trans children and adolescents.
