本研究旨在探究隨著時代變遷中的原住民社會體系，是如何形塑原住民女性家庭照顧者照顧經驗歷程。對於原住民女性家庭照顧者而言，家庭照顧這項家庭內的勞務工作，受著主流社會之經濟制度、價值觀及社會規範的影響，然而原住民社會的傳統，亦牽動著與家庭中性別角色分工密不可分的照顧工作。本研究採取質性研究方法，以6位原住民女性家庭照顧者為研究對象，以半結構式的訪談大綱進行深度訪談，所得的文本以主題分析法歸納與研究目的有關的主題，研究結果發現：「親屬照顧是家族責任之觀點」、「照顧負荷大但盡心照顧」、「家庭成員提供的支持普遍高」、「對家庭照顧者服務資源陌生」四個主要議題。本研究結果可增加對原住民女性家庭照顧者的瞭解，發展出以原住民族經驗本質結構為導向的照顧支持策略及長期照顧政策。
