Linear regression analysis and bootstrapping analysis were conducted. The adjusted regression results showed that patients’ disability (B = 0.616; 95% CI: 0.479–0.753), potentially harmful behavior on caregivers (B = 0.474; 95% CI: 0.232–0.716), and caregiver’s low social support (B = −0.079; 95% CI: −0.158– −0.002), high level of affiliate stigma (B = 13.045; 95% CI: 10.227–15.864) were associated with higher level of caregiver burden (p |
