Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine the effectiveness and tasks of group work practice that focus on support groups for mothers of children with school refusal. These mothers are now experiencing a variety of difficult situations in the relationship among child, husband, grandparents, and school. Therefore, support groups which work to help members cope with stressful life events and revitalize members' coping abilities may be effective for these mothers. However, studies of such practices have been not carried out until now. This time, group work practice was planned for a total of 6 times (once a month, 90 minutes) , and was announced to mothers of children who attend a special class for school refusal. As a result, 13 mothers participated in the practice. To evaluate the success of the group, the worker focuses on member's satisfaction with the group experience and whether the group has met their needs. As self-report measures, after each practice, mothers were requested to write their feelings about it. As a results of the practice, all mothers wrote that they were satisfied with the group experience because they could get information from other mothers. However, there were some remaining tasks related to their needs.
