    Author: Matsuu K, Washio M, Arai Y, Ide S.
    Journal: Psychiatry Clin Neurosci; 2000 Oct; 54(5):553-7. PubMed ID: 11043805.
    Abstract:
    A cross-sectional study was conducted in order to investigate the various factors related to the depression in caregivers of the elderly in need of care in urban Japan. The caregivers answered a self-administered questionnaire about various factors that may affect their depression, and also completed a Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale evaluation (CES-D). Compared with non-depressed caregivers, depressed caregivers attended the elderly longer, while time spent for physical caregiving did not differ between the two groups. Even after controlling confounding factors, time of attending the elderly was an independent factor related to caregiver's depression.
