Abstract：
Research on coparenting is virtually absent from the refugee literature, despite its importance for family systems, children\'s bio-behavioural and emotional development, and intergenerational responses to social change. In 2022, we conducted 30 semi-structured interviews with Syrian refugees in Jordan and used thematic analysis to examine how fathers and mothers (n = 15 dyads) enacted parenting together. We identified four approaches characterising how couples navigated coparenting interactions, family cohesion, and intergenerational change. These were negotiation, mirroring, anchoring, and transformation. Specifically, Syrian couples negotiated how to balance responsibilities, sought emotions and behaviours that reflected calm and respect, prioritised family togetherness over education or resettlement opportunities, and, strikingly, adopted gentler parenting approaches to transform intergenerational experiences. Underpinning these four themes were efforts to uphold family dignity. Syrians described themselves as ordinary parents, eschewing the label of refugee parents and building a normal life for their families after war and displacement. Our thematic analysis offers methodological and conceptual advances in exemplifying how to capture a dyadic understanding of coparenting and why refugees strive to parent in ways that sustain mental health and dignity. This systems-level analysis of coparenting in dignity is specifically relevant to strengthening the processes of family-level communication and to designing integrated programs that support caregiving, wellness, and family unity. Our findings lay the groundwork for developing a relational, agentic model of family caregiving systems in the context of precarity and forced displacement.
摘要：
难民文献中几乎没有关于共同存在的研究，尽管它对家庭系统很重要，儿童的生物行为和情感发展，以及对社会变革的代际反应。2022年，我们对约旦的叙利亚难民进行了30次半结构化访谈，并使用主题分析来研究父亲和母亲（n=15个二元组）如何共同实施育儿。我们确定了四种方法，描述了夫妻如何导航共同互动，家庭凝聚力,代际变化。这些是谈判，镜像,锚定,和转型。具体来说,叙利亚夫妇协商了如何平衡责任，寻求反映平静和尊重的情绪和行为，家庭团聚优先于教育或安置机会，and,惊人的,采用更温和的育儿方法来改变代际体验。这四个主题的基础是维护家庭尊严的努力。叙利亚人形容自己是普通的父母，避开难民父母的标签，在战争和流离失所后为他们的家庭建立正常的生活。我们的主题分析提供了方法和概念上的进步，以举例说明如何捕获对共同生活的双重理解以及为什么难民以维持心理健康和尊严的方式努力为父母。这种关于有尊严地共同合作的系统级分析与加强家庭级沟通过程和设计支持护理的综合方案特别相关，健康,和家庭团结。我们的发现为发展关系奠定了基础，在不稳定和强迫流离失所的背景下，家庭照顾系统的代理模型。
