Family caregivers, especially in Asian countries, have a profound role in caring for a sick family member. However, there are wide variations between the Asian and western world in terms of culture and facilities. Therefore, the problems and needs of family caregivers between those two regions may also be distinct, and it is important to explore and elaborate based on our empirical evidence. In Indonesia, motives and values in caregiving and religion become the wheel-power of the family caregivers in providing care. This affects action and consequences for caregivers. This paper attempts to elaborate on common ethical dilemmas that usually face by family caregivers in Indonesia. Unfortunately, family caregivers typically are not prepared to make those challenging decisions. Therefore, we recommend not only that family caregivers need to be involved in the caring process, but also their issues and ethical dilemmas should be assessed and addressed by health care professionals, especially nurses, who have the most frequent contact with patient and family caregiver.
家庭照顾者，尤其是在亚洲国家，在照顾生病的家庭成员方面发挥着深远的作用。然而，亚洲和西方世界在文化和设施方面存在很大差异。因此，这两个地区家庭照顾者的问题和需求也可能不同，基于实证证据进行探索和阐述很重要。在印度尼西亚，照顾中的动机和价值观以及宗教成为家庭照顾者提供照顾的动力。这会影响照顾者的行为和结果。本文试图阐述印度尼西亚家庭照顾者通常面临的常见伦理困境。不幸的是，家庭照顾者通常没有准备好做出那些具有挑战性的决定。因此，我们建议不仅家庭照顾者需要参与照顾过程，而且他们的问题和伦理困境应由医疗保健专业人员，尤其是与患者和家庭照顾者接触最频繁的护士进行评估和解决。
