本研究旨在探討繼親家庭知覺家庭優勢之經驗。研究以立意取樣方式邀請三位認為自身家庭具備家庭優勢之繼親家庭子女作為研究參與者。研究者設計訪談大綱，以半結構深度訪談法進行資料蒐集，並以敘事研究中「整體—內容」、「類別—內容」之研究方法進行分析，以了解繼親家庭優勢的發展與內涵。
研究結果如下：繼親家庭優勢的發展來自以下面向：（一）對新家庭有所準備、（二）建立穩定的繼親子關係、（三）營造自主安全的成長環境、（四）形成繼手足關係的連結、（五）維繫穩定的伴侶關係、（六）經營與維護家庭關係。繼親家庭優勢的內涵為：（一）家庭支持與連結、（二）開放自由與尊重、（三）融洽的共享時光、（四）新的體驗與資源。最後，根據研究結果，提出對繼親家庭成員、實務工作者與未來研究之建議。

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences related to perceived family strengths among stepchildren, including the development of family strengths and the content of family strengths within stepfamilies. The research adopts a narrative research orientation and uses semi-structured in-depth interviews to collect data from three stepchildren who believe their family possesses family strengths. Data analysis was conducted through holistic-content and categorical-content methods.
The results of the study were as follows. Frist, the development of family strengths in stepfamilies came from the following aspects: (1) being prepared for the new family, (2) establishing stable stepparent-child relationships, (3) creating an autonomous and safe growth environment, (4) forming connections among stepsiblings, (5) maintaining a stable partner relationship, and (6) managing and maintaining family relationships. Second, the content of stepfamily strengths was: (1) family support and connection, (2) openness, freedom, and respect, (3) harmonious shared time, and (4) new experiences and resources.
At the end of the study, based on the research results, the researcher provided suggestions for stepfamily members, practitioners, and future research.
