Caregiver stress is often a serious problem when caring for a patient with frontal lobe dysfunction.
A total of 102 caregivers of both patients with frontotemporal degeneration and corticobasal syndrome completed the Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe) and the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). To analyze the association between apathy or disinhibition (or both) and caregiver burden, the effects of the total FrSBe and the apathy and disinhibition subscales of the FrSBE on the total ZBI score were assessed with logistic regressions and t tests.
Total FrSBE score and the apathy FrSBE subscore predicted caregiver burden. Apathy occurred without disinhibition, and the two occurred together, but disinhibition without apathy was very rare.
Disinhibition without apathy occurred very rarely. Apathy was more associated with caregiver burden than disinhibition.
照顾额叶功能障碍患者的过程中，护理人员的压力往往是一个严重的问题。
共 102 名额颞叶变性和皮质基底节综合征患者的护理人员完成了额叶系统行为量表（FrSBe）和 Zarit 负担量表（ZBI）。为了分析淡漠或抑制障碍（或两者兼有）与护理人员负担之间的关联，采用逻辑回归和 t 检验评估了总 FrSBe 评分以及 FrSBe 量表的淡漠和抑制分量表对总 ZBI 评分的影响。
总 FrSBe 评分和淡漠 FrSBe 分量表预测了护理人员负担。淡漠的发生不伴有抑制，两者同时发生，但抑制而无淡漠则很少见。
抑制而无淡漠的情况非常少见。淡漠比抑制更与护理人员负担相关。
