Dementia patients' caregivers often provide information about patients' daily functioning, but little is known about factors influencing caregivers' perceptions. Baseline data from an intervention trial were used to compare caregiver estimates of dementia patients' performance with their actual performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and to assess relationships between measures of caregiver responses to caregiving, self-perceived sense of self-efficacy, and depression. We also assessed patient cognition, overall function and behavioral disturbance, and caregivers' perceptions of their patients' behavior as manipulative or deliberate. Disparities between these estimates and actual patient performance on structured IADL tasks were unrelated to any caregiver, patient, or relationship factor that we measured
痴呆症患者的照料者常常提供有关患者日常功能的信息，但对于影响照料者认知的因素却知之甚少。一项干预试验的基线数据被用于比较照料者对痴呆症患者表现的估计与患者实际的日常生活工具性活动（IADL）表现，并评估照料者对护理反应的测量指标、自我感知的自我效能感和抑郁之间的关系。我们还评估了患者的认知、整体功能和行为障碍，以及照料者对其患者行为是否具有操纵性或蓄意性的认知。在结构化IADL任务中，这些估计与患者实际表现之间的差异与我们所测量的任何照料者、患者或关系因素均无关。
