本研究之主要目的為探討伴侶共同照護失智父母之經驗，及其婚姻關係與婚姻品質之變化。本研究採質性研究之敘事分析法與對偶研究分析法，透過立意取樣邀請三對共同照護失智父母之伴侶，進行個別之半結構式訪談，進而收集與分析其對偶資料。研究結果顯示伴侶共同照護失智父母之經驗係經孝道文化促使歷程之開展，其合作模式則由血親主責照護，而失智病症之特性亟需資源引入，以協助因應照護困境與負擔；伴侶共同照護歷程間婚姻關係之變化則顯示伴侶轉以照護為生活核心，且關係因照護而歷經衝突與成長，伴侶亦於歷程間持續進行相互調節與磨合。最後，本研究針對「有意願共同照護失智父母伴侶」、「諮商心理實務工作者」及「未來相關研究」等進行建議論述，期能供為參考。
