对痴呆患者照护者进行了简短症状量表（BSI）的9个分量表测试。护理人员184例按年龄（≤59岁和60岁以上）、性别分为两组。他们的得分与年龄匹配的标准进行了比较。所有的护理组在敌意分量表上都显著升高。年轻女性和年长女性在焦虑量表上的得分都高于标准，而年长女性在其他三个量表上的得分也显著提高。BSI的焦虑和敌意分量表与负担访谈最密切相关，负担访谈是衡量照顾活动所施加的需求的一种措施。这种负担与症状之间的关系突出了护理的压力性质。（PsycInfo数据库记录(c) 2020 APA，版权所有）
Nine subscales of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) were examined for caregivers of dementia patients. Caregivers (N= 184) were divided into groups on the basis of age (≤ 59 and 60+) and gender. Their scores were compared with age-matched norms. All of the caregiving groups were significantly elevated on the Hostility subscale. Both younger and older women scored higher than the norms on the Anxiety subscale, and the older women were significantly elevated on three other subscales as well. The Anxiety and Hostility subscales of the BSI were most strongly correlated with the Burden Interview, a measure of the demands imposed by caregiving activities. This relation between burden and symptomatology highlights the stressful nature of caregiving.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
