The present study examined the contribution of the problems faced by caregivers, the strain they experienced, their relationship with their dependent, and their attitudes towards day care in determining the outcome placements of psychogeriatric day hospital patients, using discriminant function analysis. Features contributing to the continued attendance of the demented elderly at the day hospital are examined to ascertain their implications for such services.
