The pattern of burden in 90 families with a neurotic patient, 30 each with dysthymia, generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder was evaluated in this study. Burden was chiefly felt in four principal areas; financial burden, disruption of family routine, disruption of family leisure and family interactions. This pattern was similar among the three study groups. Analysis of problems perceived as burdensome demonstrated an increased concern among relatives regarding routine household matters, restricted leisure and ill effects of the patient's illness on the family atmosphere. Burden was significantly greater in cases of married patients, married relatives, housewives and employed patients. Such data, it is hoped, will help provide guidelines along which an enquiry into different aspects of burden can be conducted.
本研究评估了90个有神经症患者家庭的负担模式，其中30个家庭分别患有心境恶劣障碍、广泛性焦虑障碍和强迫症。负担主要体现在四个主要方面：经济负担、家庭日常生活 disrupted、家庭休闲 disrupted 和家庭互动。这一模式在三个研究组中相似。对被视为负担的问题的分析表明，亲属对日常家务事、受限的休闲以及患者疾病对家庭氛围的不良影响更为关注。已婚患者、已婚亲属、家庭主妇和在职患者的负担明显更大。希望这些数据将有助于提供指导方针，以便对负担的不同方面进行调查。 （注：原文中“disruption of family routine”和“disruption of family leisure”直译为“家庭日常生活的破坏”和“家庭休闲的破坏”，表述稍显生硬，意译为“家庭日常生活受影响”和“家庭休闲受影响”会更通顺些，但按要求未做调整）
