• As Japan's `super aged society' develops, more and more aged caregivers are obliged to take care of patients with chronic diseases. In this study, the family caregivers of type 2 diabetic patients were targeted to identify the socioeconomic conditions that affect their mental health status. The results indicated that when the caregivers were overly concerned about the patients' care, they had higher GHQ (General Health Questionnaire) scores( r=.685, p<0.05). On the other hand, the more caregivers spoke frankly about their feelings to the patients, the lower their GHQ Likert Scores were( r=.-718, p<0.05). Suggestions for medical staff were made to establish a support system not only for type 2 diabetic patients, but also for the family caregivers of these patients.
