The most frequent causes of the feeling of "being a burden" in elderly people dependent on others due to chronic disabling pathologies are described. Often this feeling is the main, and sometimes the only reason for their isolation from the community. Suggestions are made for the removal of this feeling, which is felt to be caused mainly by social attitudes and the style and structure of existing social services. It is felt that education in social attitudes should be directed not only to the invalid concerned but also, and primarily, to the community as a whole. In terms of treatment, rehabilitation and social facilities, various appropriate activities are suggested. A careful reorganisation of the institutions offering these services is also recommended.
描述了因慢性致残性疾病而依赖他人的老年人产生“成为负担”之感的最常见原因。这种感觉往往是他们与社区隔离的主要原因，有时甚至是唯一原因。针对消除这种感觉提出了建议，这种感觉主要被认为是由社会态度以及现有社会服务的方式和结构造成的。人们认为，社会态度教育不仅应针对相关残疾人，而且首先应针对整个社区。在治疗、康复和社会设施方面，提出了各种适当的活动。还建议对提供这些服务的机构进行认真重组。
