由內政部2012 年第一季身心障礙者人數統計報表，目前台灣通報患失智症者有36,204 人，依失智症社區盛行率，推估社區中約近12 萬失智症老人，失智症者照顧者相關議題已成為台灣重要課題。目的：本研究以Hilgeman 等人於2009 年之壓力歷程模式為基礎，探討女性失智症家庭照顧者其因應模式在正向照顧經驗與睡眠品質間的關係。方法：採用因應方法量表（RWCC）、中文化匹茲堡睡眠品質量表（CPSQI）和正向照顧經驗量表（PAC）、背景資料和睡眠日誌調查84 位失智症的女性家庭照顧者。此外照顧者需配戴3 天2 夜睡眠活動量手錶（Actiwatch）收集客觀睡眠資料。結果：本研究發現有92.4% 女性家庭照顧者主觀覺得有睡眠困擾; 客觀睡眠指標上75.6% 的受試者的睡眠效率則未達85% 切結點。然而正向照顧經驗與因應模式會產生交互作用影響女性失智症家庭照顧者其不管於主觀或客觀的睡眠品質。結論：以心理介入的角度，建議未來可增強個案的正向照顧經驗、教導合適的因應技巧，可減緩不合適之因應與正向照顧經驗不足所產生的不佳睡眠品質。
