摘要
The effects of chronical strains on physical or psychological health are subject of this paper. Stress related symptoms of family caregivers of dementia patients have been proven in various studies. For this group of people an analysis of the health rise factors is regarded as to be especially important. Diary investigations allow to identify the individual assessment (by the caring person) of factors related to the care situation and to recognize the health rise factors during the care process. Physical burden, psychological health and quality of sleep have been used as indicators regarding the state of health. In this study strong differences in the individual view of stress factors and their effects on psychological an physical state of the caring person are shown.
