目的：探讨照顾者对任务难度、抑郁症状和生活变化的感知在照顾者性别、种族和与脑卒中患者关系类型特征的基础上的差异。（女性n = 191;男性n = 52;非非洲裔美国人n = 184;非洲裔美国人n = 59;非配偶n = 127;配偶n = 116）在幸存者出院回家后8周内接受电话采访。测量指标包括Oberst护理负担量表（OCBS）的任务难度，患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）的抑郁症状和Bakas护理结果量表（BCOS）的生活变化。三个线性模型计算了OCBS、PHQ 9和OCBS得分的差异。
Objective: To examine differences in caregiver perceptions of task difficulty, depressive symptoms and life changes based on caregiver characteristics of gender, race and type of relationship to the person with stroke.Methods: A sample of 243 stroke caregivers (females n = 191; males n = 52; non-African Americans n = 184; African Americans n = 59; non-spouses n = 127; spouses n = 116) were interviewed by telephone within 8 weeks of the survivor's discharge to home. Measures included the Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale (OCBS) for task difficulty, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for depressive symptoms and Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale (BCOS) for life changes. Three general linear models computed differences in OCBS, PHQ9 and OCBS scores.Results: Significant differences were found on the OCBS for females (p
