Four hundreds and seventy-one caregivers who care the elderly living at home voluntarily answered the questionnaire, and the subjective burden of caregivers was measured by Nihon Fukushi University (NFU) version of caregiver burden scale. As the results, NFU version of caregiver burden scale had enough reliability and validity to measure caregiver's burden, and a factor analysis revealed two factors, "subjective burden of care" and "will for continuing care".
