文化照顧對發展臺灣原住民族長期照顧體系之重要性【本期企劃】 試閱
The Importance of Cultural Caring to The Development of Indigenous Long-Term Care Systems in Taiwan
綜觀臺灣長期照顧發展的歷史，原住民族在長照政策中是被存而不論的社會群體，然而長期照顧服務法的通過與實施，因賦予原住民族發展民族長照體系的權利，故成為臺灣長照族群主流化的里程碑。文化照顧因具有民族emic（內部）的觀點，成為原住民族發展民族長照體系的關鍵元素，本文從人類學的角度出發，試圖說明文化照顧的概念及其與文化安全的關係，藉此論述文化照顧對臺灣原住民族發展長期照顧體系之重要性與必要性。
The indigenous peoples of Taiwan have been ignored by the government in the development of long-term care (LTC) in the past two decades. However, the implement of Long- Term Services Act was a milestone of indigenous LTC because it allowed indigenous peoples to create their own ethno-LTC systems by adopting the indigenous cognitive processes, behaviors, and material creations of cultural caring. Since cultural caring represented indigenous emic points of views, it became a key element of developing indigenous ethno-LTC systems. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) explore the concepts of cultural caring and its relation to cultural safety from an anthropological perspective; (2) address the importance and necessity of cultural caring in developing indigenous ethno-LTC systems.
