摘要

A dementia care burden level determination device (100) includes: an obtainment unit (110) that obtains answers to respective questions about the behavioral pattern of a patient, the questions each belonging to one of n domains; a score calculator (111) that, in accordance with the answers obtained by the obtainment unit (110), calculates scores for the respective domains, the scores being expressed as numerical values and related to the behavioral pattern of the patient; a distance calculator (112) that calculates a Euclidean distance between fixed-point coordinates and coordinates represented by the scores for the respective domains calculated by the score calculator (111) in an n-dimensional space in which number lines used to show the scores for the respective domains correspond to coordinate axes; a determination unit (113) that determines a dementia care burden level for the patient to be cared for in accordance with the Euclidean distance calculated by the distance calculator (112); and an output unit (114) that outputs the dementia care burden level determined by the determination unit (113).
