The levels of emotional distress and strain were examined in two groups of relatives of psychiatric patients using standard instruments. The dementia group had more GHQ--30 cases than the schizophrenic group. Even though the schizophrenic relatives had higher distress and strain scores than the dementia relatives, they did not reach significant levels when the two groups were compared.
使用标准工具对两组精神病患者亲属的情绪困扰和压力水平进行了检查。痴呆症组的一般健康问卷（GHQ-30）病例比精神分裂症组更多。尽管精神分裂症患者的亲属比痴呆症患者的亲属有更高的困扰和压力得分，但在比较两组时，这些得分并未达到显著水平。
