目的：探讨老年性痴呆（AD）和血管性痴呆（VaD）患者照顾者负担的差异，以改进护理咨询和管理计划。我们纳入了506名连续参加老年科阿尔茨海默病评估单元的患者，采用简易精神状态检查（MMSE）、临床痴呆评定（CDR）、汉密尔顿抑郁量表、和神经精神量表采用照顾者负担量表（CBI）对AD患者和VaD患者进行问卷调查。CBI包括5个维度：（1）CBI-目标;（2）CBI-发展;（3）CBI-身体;（4）CBI-社会;（5）CBI-情感。AD患者在基线时显示出显著更高的指导水平（p
Objective: To characterize the differences of caregiver burden in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) in order to improve the care counselling and management plan.Methods: We included 506 patients consecutively attending the Alzheimer's Evaluation Unit of a Geriatric Unit, evaluated with Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, and Neuropsychiatric Inventory. To all caregivers were administered the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI), a 24-item multidimensional questionnaire in which 5 subscales explore 5 dimensions of caregiver burden: (1) CBI-Objective; (2) CBI-Developmental; (3) CBI-Physical; (4) CBI-Social; and (5) CBI-Emotional.Results: The present study included, respectively, 253AD patients and 253 VaD patients. AD patients at baseline showed a significantly higher instruction level (p
