| Research Abstract |
The study population consisted of 493 caregivers (65.4+12.2 yr (SD)) , and matched care recipients (81.8+8.0 yr (SD)) who were community-dwelling elderly, and were provided various home care services under the long-term care insurance program. The data included clients’ demographic characteristics, a rating for ten basic ADL, cognitive performance scale (CPS), and the Charlson comorbidity index. Data were also obtained from caregivers concerning their own personal demographic characteristics, and their subjective burden as assessed by the Japanese version of the Zarit Burden Interview (J-ZBI). The association between tube feeding and a low level of caregiver burden is anotherconsideration in decision-making for long-term tube feeding among older adults.
