Long-term results of an evaluation of a multicomponent support-group program for spouses caring for frail elderly veterans indicated that participants experienced significant reductions in subjective burden. As compared to those of the control group, caregivers' perceptions of their husbands' health improved significantly from pretest to one year, while perceptions of their husbands' functioning on measures of instrumental daily activities showed significantly less deterioration in the period from pretest to posttest.
一项针对照顾体弱老年退伍军人配偶的多成分支持小组项目的长期评估结果表明，参与者的主观负担显著减轻。与对照组相比，从预测试到一年后，照顾者对其丈夫健康状况的认知有显著改善，而在从预测试到后测试期间，他们对丈夫在工具性日常活动量表上功能的认知显示出恶化程度明显较小。
