Study design is a cross-sectional study using a self-rating questionnaire. Using the variables finally selected by a multiple regression analysis as observation variables, a causal model was created, and the goodness of fit was verified by the covariance structure analysis.In total 1,235 responses (60.8%) were determined as valid.

本研究では、急性期病院で認知症高齢者をケアする看護師の困難感を明らかにし，その現象を具体的に数値化する尺度を開発した．さらに，急性期病院で認知症高齢者をケアする看護師の困難感がバーンアウトへ影響していることを明らかにした．看護師のバーンアウトを予防するため，認知症看護の困難感を対処すべく、認知症対応力向上の研修の工夫など認知症ケアの教育プログラムを構築する一助となったのではないかと考える．
