Forty-six demented elderly and their caregivers previously studied with respect to strain on caregivers; were studied one year after the initial assessment with respect to institutionalization. Patients admitted to a nursing home, showed more pronounced mental and behavioural disturbances. Cognitive functions, gender, marital status and living conditions did not differ between the two groups. The caregivers of institutionalized demented were older, they expressed more feelings of anger and despair and more often requested the care receiver transferred to a nursing home.
46名患有痴呆症的老年人及其护理人员之前已就护理人员的压力进行过研究；在初次评估一年后，又针对其机构收容情况进行了研究。入住养老院的患者表现出更明显的精神和行为障碍。两组在认知功能、性别、婚姻状况和生活条件方面并无差异。机构收容的痴呆症患者的护理人员年龄更大，他们表达了更多的愤怒和绝望情绪，也更频繁地要求将受照顾者转到养老院。
