Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore caregivers’ perceptions and behaviors in self-health management, focusing on cultural meanings and influencing factors. Methods: Focused ethnography with a qualitative approach was used. Interviews were conducted with 10 people who understood the culture of caregivers well. Data were collected until the saturation level was reached. Results: As a result of analyzing the data, four major areas were identified: “Lack of flexibility and capacity for health care and cultural meaning,” “Significance of musculoskeletal management and various self-care practice cultures,” “Health care culture in emotional labor and psychological exhaustion” and “cultural context of conflicting perceptions and behaviors of health care.” They were converged on the cultural theme of “Conflicting physical and psychological burdens and health care that persist amid a lack of flexibility and capacity.” Conclusion: This study contributes to our understanding of self-health management awareness and behavior of caregivers from a cultural perspective. Through this, it confirmes the need for effective health care strategies for caregivers as, key personnel who provide care services for the elderly. In addition, follow-up research is proposed to reduce the gap between health care awareness and practice.
