title: [Effect of background factors concerning both elderly persons and their families with regard to the caregiver burnout in the home].
abstract: A cross sectional survey was performed to quantify factors that exhaust caregivers. We report that the degree of difficulty for caregivers correlated well with the burnout score (r = -0.517; p < 0.001), but the correlation between caregivers' burnout score and the level of their patient's basic ADL was lower (r = -0.317; p = 0.014). In this paper, we investigated other factors related to exhaustion. Caregivers' burnout score correlated with their age. The level of disease that caregivers complained increased burnout score. The need for nocturnal care and continuous observation, as well as rejection of aid burned out caregivers. Multiple regression analysis clarified that significant independent contributing factors for burnout score were help with toilet use, nocturnal aid and diseases suffered by caregivers.
