After depth interview of semi-structured questionnaire, text information was obtained and visualized comprehensive analysis was conducted. As for research results, it was aimed at the mental and physical burden of main carer under the condition of accompanying patients, and existence correlation to conduct thoughtful description and interpretation in experience so as to present the concrete meaning of accompanying course transition of main carers for vegetables. 　 　　The research found that when main carers took care of vegetables’ life, they faced: two crucial issues, namely, accompanying course transition and readiness; display and construction of existence correlation. It was found from the former that main carers needed to bear not only innermost depression and sorrow in the initial situation of great life change, but also physical burden due to care works, including different extents of care works; besides increasing physical burden at this time, main carers also had great changes in time and space, and then home became a narrow living hell while facing permanent situation of care works; the connection between carers in three-dimensions of time and vegetables in the sequence of space-time is derived accordingly. It was found from the latter that when discussing the existence correlation between main carers and vegetables thoroughly, three significant concepts in texts were: certain existence of care relationship, inside information of cultural relationship and re-connection of social relationship. The certain existence of care relationship revealed the real scene of care existence between carers and patients. In addition, cultural relationship also had a deep impact on care existence. However, no one can deny that the family with a vegetable cannot just live in the world of the family, and it must connect with the society. They have to live in the society and find the replacement of social relationship between themselves and the society. 　 　　As a whole, the situation of main carer who accompanies patients presented the mode of dynamic changes and every substance showed different experiences. Moreover, the research proposed the ethic issue of euthanasia, the influence of religious belief, and deeper social welfare policies as references and choices for others of another study field.
