目的：探讨影响护理负担的因素。方法：对长崎县精神疾病患者家属联合会成员采用经过充分验证的护理负担量表(Zarit Caregiver Burden访谈的日文版8个条目)、一般健康状况(一般健康问卷12个条目)、生活困难、应对策略、情感支持、结果：护理负担与一般健康状况和生活困难显著相关。结论：多因素回归分析发现，应对策略中的“社会利益”和“顺从”对护理负担有显著的独立影响。
Aim: The present study was conducted to identify factors contributing to burden of care in 57 mothers caring for patients with schizophrenia.Methods: Members of the Federation of Families of People with Mental Illness in Nagasaki Prefecture were evaluated using well-validated scales to evaluate burden of care (eight-item short version of the Japanese version of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview), general health status (General Health Questionnaire 12-item version), difficulty in life, coping strategies, emotional support, and understanding of mental illness and disorders.Results: Burden of care was significantly associated with general health status and difficulty in life.Conclusion: On multiple regression it was found that 'social interests' and 'resignation', both of which are the subscales of coping strategies, exerted significant and independent effects with respect to burden of care.
