Burden of caregiving, measured using the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers–Short Version, among (A) all care partners and (B) care partners living with the care recipient. The Burden Scale for Family Caregivers-Short Version score ranged from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater care partner burden. Scores ranging from 0 to 4 indicate a degree of subjective burden ranging from none to low, with no increased risk of physical psychosomatic complaints. Scores ranging from 5 to 14 indicate a moderate degree of subjective burden, with an increased risk of physical psychosomatic complaints. Scores ranging from 15 to 30 indicate a severe-to-very-severe degree of subjective burden and a very much increased risk of physical psychosomatic complaints.
