The purpose of this study was to examine the style of communication that takes place between couples in their home environment in relationship to the abilities to the spouse with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the amount of stress and burden experienced by the caregiver. Three styles of communication emerged: parallel, questioning, and direct. Caregivers engaging in parallel communications reported greater stress and time burden than any other caregivers. Nurses need to be observant of the communication patterns that exist between caregivers and their spouses with AD and help caregivers develop successful communicative strategies that enhance interactions with their spouses.
本研究的目的是考察夫妻在家庭环境中的沟通方式，以及与患阿尔茨海默病（AD）配偶的能力、照顾者所经历的压力和负担量之间的关系。出现了三种沟通方式：平行式、提问式和直接式。采用平行式沟通的照顾者比其他任何照顾者报告的压力和时间负担都更大。护士需要留意照顾者与患AD配偶之间存在的沟通模式，并帮助照顾者制定成功的沟通策略，以增强与配偶的互动。
