Research on the impact of quality of relationships between primary caregivers and their care recipients on burden and satisfaction with caregiving is still rare. The sample included 335 dyads of primary caregivers and care recipients who were cognitively intact. Face-to-face interviews were conducted at the respondents' homes using structured questionnaires. No significant correlation between caregiving burden and caregiving satisfaction was found. Quality of relationship was the most significant variable in explaining both caregiving burden and caregiving satisfaction, yet different sets of additional variables were found to explain each of the outcomes. Interventions should address quality of relationships in order to reduce burden and increase caregiving satisfaction.
关于主要照顾者与其照顾对象之间的关系质量对照顾负担和照顾满意度的影响的研究仍然很少。样本包括335对认知功能正常的主要照顾者与照顾对象。使用结构化问卷在受访者家中进行面对面访谈。未发现照顾负担与照顾满意度之间存在显著相关性。关系质量是解释照顾负担和照顾满意度的最显著变量，但发现不同组的其他变量可解释每种结果。干预措施应着眼于关系质量，以减轻负担并提高照顾满意度。
