• This present study aimed to clarify the factors related to "Cognitive Caregiving Appraisal" by family caregivers. "Cognitive Caregiving Appraisal" is a scale composed of positive and negative segments. The research design was a cross-sectional survey; the mailed survey was conducted to 440 caregivers, and 243 caregivers were analyzed. In order to achieve the study objectives, multiple regression analyses were performed. The dependent variables are as follows. The independent variables are the number of problematic behaviors, and ADL as factors of the frail elderly, and caregiver's gender, caregiver's age, relationship between caregvers and the frail elderly, perceived health status of caregivers, caregiver's work, performing caregiving activities during the night, caregiving years, satisfaction with informal support as factors of caregivers. The results indicated that: (1) 'feelings of restriction of social life' was significantly associated with caregiver's work; (2) 'anxiety about continuing caregiving' was significantly associated with perceived health status of caregiver; (3) 'distress of the relationships with others' was significantly associated with satisfaction with informal support; (4) 'fulfillment of caregiving roles' was significantly associated with performing caregiving activities during night; (5) and 'affection toward the caretakers' was significantly associated with the caregiver's age. Additionally, there exists no significant factor with 'self-growth by caregiving'. We can observe differences between the two appraisal segments in terms of related factors. The findings implied that care providers and care managers should carefully assess and support caregivers, and they should promote to decrease the caregiver's negative appraisals and help the caregivers take caregiving positively.
