We studied the relationship between the feelings of burden at work including its factors and quality of life (QOL) among the staff working in day care institutions where elderly people staying at home commute to. We examined a total of 111 people. In addition to asking their attributes, we placed to them a questionnaire consisting of 6 items related to their feeling toward work and 15 items to BAQL (Basic Quality of Life Scale).The survey produced the following results : 1. 20.7% of them had feelings of burden heavily, 18.0% of them slightly, while 61.3% to a certain extent; 2. The feelings of burden had more relation to their age than their working conditions (p < 00.05); 3. People with the feelings of burden had a higher sense that their work was hard and too much of a bother (p<0.01); 4. The feelings of burden were related to QOL (p<0.05), especially to physical condition and psychological sense of stability (p<0.01), as well as feeling of comfort, intercommunion and pleasure (p<0.05). From these results, we could guess that the feelings of burden tended to depend on thephysical condition at work and the degree of psychological sense of stability apart from the fact that pleasure and intercommunion were not interactively working. As QOL of the personnel might have a direct influence on users, a support system was thought necessary to achieve psychological sense of stability.
