The following are the findings of this study: 1.The parentified experience has the significant differences because of the family caregivers with the difference of age, the sibling’s ranking, and the reasons as caregivers. 2.The caregiver burden has significant differences because of the family caregivers with the differences of marriage, occupation, self-evaluation of economy, residential status, the number of taking care of family and the level of disability, and the different physical and mental health status of family care. 3.The health status has significant differences because of the family caregivers of difference gender, residential area, the different relationship, self-evaluation of economy, and taking care about the different level of disability. 4.(1) When the family caregivers’s parentified experience of “Instrumental Caregiving” is higher, the caregiver burden of “Client Depend” and the“Health Status” are higher.
