对阿尔茨海默氏症护理人员的研究试图找到1）护理人员提供护理的时间长度之间的联系;或2）患者的身体状况与护理人员的经验和需求之间的联系。这项研究发现，照顾者照顾特定病人的时间长短与照顾者对照顾者负担的主观感受之间没有显着相关性。它发现了一个显着的，中度相关性之间的照顾者负担和病人的功能能力。研究发现，照顾者的主观感受和需要最能预测他们的负担感。本报告最后就如何根据这些调查结果改善对照顾者的支持提出了建议。
Research on Alzheimer's Disease caregivers has tried to find a link between 1) the length of time a caregiver has been giving care; or 2) the physical condition of the patient and the experiences and needs of the caregiver. This study found no significant correlation between length of time a caregiver had given care to a particular patient and the caregiver's subjective feelings of caregiver burden. It found a significant, moderate correlation between caregiver burden and the patient's functional ability. It found that caregivers' subjective feelings and needs best predict their feelings of burden. This report concludes with suggestions on how to improve support for caregivers in light of these findings.
