隨著全世界人口老化的趨勢，長期照顧問題日趨嚴重，家庭照顧者長期面臨生理、心理、社會及經濟面臨諸多衝擊與壓力，其自我身心照顧的方式及效益，是值得深入關心與探討的議題，因此本研究介入園藝治療課程提供家庭照顧者在參與過程中達到紓減壓力及福祉效益之影響。 本研究以基隆市某居家服務機構的家庭照顧者12名,進行6週6次每次90分鐘的園藝治療課程，利用「園藝治療福祉效益量表」及「Zung壓力自評量表」作為前、後測效益評估的方式，以SPSS 20.0版統計軟體進行描述性統計、成對樣本T檢定之分析。 6週的園藝治療課程介入，結果發現Zung壓力自評量表，前測平均值46.33，後測平均值降為33.5，參與者都由輕度壓力狀態轉為正常狀態；福祉效益量表前測平均值為24.50分提升至後測30.92分，效益差6.42分，福祉效益都具有顯著差異。 As the population ages around the world, long-term care is becoming increasingly problematic, and family caregivers face many physical, psychological, social and economic shocks.
