摘要：
Sixteen day centre attenders with dementia and their carers were interviewed. The cognitive and behavioural impairments of subjects with dementia were assessed using the Mini-Mental State and the Stockton Geriatric Behaviour Rating Scale. Carers were assessed using the GHQ(28) as a screen for psychiatric morbidity. Where psychological intervention programmes were successful in reducing behaviour identified by carers as particularly distressing, carer GHQ fell. Future studies are needed.
