The pattern of family burden was compared in 32 relatives of schizophrenic patients and 32 relatives of people with mental retardation, using a standardised semistructured interview named "Accertamento della Disabilità e del Carico Familiare" (Assessment of Disability and Family Burden). There were few quantitative differences between the two samples of relatives, although relatives of schizophrenics presented a tendency for a higher degree of both objective and subjective burden in some areas. Problems frequently reported were the presence of emotional distress, poor social relationships and lack of holidays or free time activities. Relatives of schizophrenics specifically claimed the presence of financial difficulties, while those of people with mental retardation were concerned by problems with neighbours.
采用标准化半结构式访谈工具“Accertamento della Disabilità e del Carico Familiare”（残疾和家庭负担评估），对 32 名精神分裂症患者亲属和 32 名智力障碍患者亲属的家庭负担模式进行了比较。尽管两组亲属在某些方面的客观和主观负担程度都有升高的趋势，但两组亲属之间的定量差异不大。经常报告的问题包括情绪困扰、社会关系不佳以及缺乏假期或闲暇活动。精神分裂症患者亲属特别提到了经济困难的问题，而智力障碍患者亲属则对与邻居的关系感到困扰。
