原住民族有其獨特之文化特色，特別是傳統生態植物知識與使用習慣。本研究擬以臺東縣原住民長者為研究範圍與對象，探究園藝治療過程中以文化安全性的替代性操作方式與主流原來的操作方式兩方比較，並尋求最貼近原鄉長者園藝治療照顧模式。為了增進未來研究之推論性，本研究採量化問卷資料分析為主要取向，質化訪談資料為輔，應用對提升不同文化背景長者之成效評估適合的方式。因此研究者根據前揭研究動機，嘗試設計與探討使用具有文化安全性之園藝治療模式對長者幸福感的影響。在六週的研究後發現臺東縣原住民族長者經由六週的園藝治療活動後，除了幸福感會提高外，文化模式園藝治療活動的幸福感平均曲線明顯高於原有模式園藝治療的幸福感平均曲線。可見，文化模式園藝治療活動比原有模式園藝治療活動能獲得較高之幸福感。本研究結果希望能做為未來相關單位與人員在規劃原住民族長者園藝治療之參考

The indigenous peoples have their own unique cultural characteristics, especially the traditional ecological knowledge and their habitual usage. This study intends to recruit the indigenous elders in Taitung County as participants, and to explore the alternative methods of cultural safety in the process of horticulture therapy. Therefore, the researchers tried to design and explore the impact of culturally safe horticultural therapy on the well-being of the elderly based on the previous research motives.
