臺灣的臨終照護高度機構化，但仍有家庭照護者進行居家安寧。
本場演講探討家庭照護者為了協助病人在家善終，進行哪些需要高度專門技能的照護工作，以及如何進行？
研究資料包括安寧病房觀察以及家屬與醫療團隊成員的深度訪談。
研究發現，在居家安寧的照護實作中，專業與常民分工界線變得模糊，家庭照護者需要具備更多樣且困難的
專門技能，而且臨終照護的高度不確定性，增加常民在限定時間內熟練專門技能的困難度。
End-of-life care in Taiwan is highly institutionalized, yet some families still opt for home-based hospice care.
This presentation explores the specialized care practices undertaken by family caregivers to help patients die at home
and how these practices are implemented. The research draws on observations from palliative care wards and in-depth
interviews with family members and medical team personnel.
Findings reveal that the boundaries between professional and lay caregiving become blurred in home-based hospice care.
Family caregivers must acquire a diverse range of complex skills. Moreover, the high uncertainty inherent in end-of-life
care increases the challenge for laypeople to master specialized skills within a limited timeframe.
