<p>As the primary living environment for disabled older adults, families play a crucial role in disease prevention and maintaining their health. However, research has found that both disabled older adults and their family members experience numerous physiological, psychological, and social adaptation problems when adjusting to the changes brought by disability, severely impacting the overall health status of the family. Therefore, guided by the ERG (Existence-Relatedness-Growth) theory, this study aims to understand the family health needs of families with disabled older adults in the community, providing a basis for improving the health level of these families and developing targeted intervention programs. From December 2024 to February 2025, this study employed purposive and snowball sampling to select 12 pairs of disabled older adults and their primary caregivers from communities under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province for semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was applied to organize and analyze the interview data. Deductive analysis indicated that the famliy health needs of families with disabled older adults in the community can be summarized into the following three themes: existence needs (daily living needs, economic support needs, environmental modification needs), relatedness needs (family communication needs, social resource connection needs, social participation needs), and growth needs (autonomy and dignity maintenance needs, family development needs, demand for technology-enabled solutions). The results show that the family health needs of families with disabled older adults in the community are unique and diverse. Community health workers and social workers can develop and implement effective strategies based on the different levels of family needs to promote the health level of families with disabled older adults and improve the overall quality of life of these families. </p>
