title: [Effects of IT usage on the nursing-care stress of stay-at-home caregivers].
abstract: We examined the effects of blog post on the stress reduction of stay-at-home care givers who posted their nursing-care blog on the Internet. Fourteen bloggers filled out the attached questionnaires. In the examination of questionnaires about intercommunication among the care givers, we suggest that IT literacy is found to be useful for reducing the burden of nursing care.
