Adult and pre-elderly informal caregiver have different growth and development tasks. It is important to identify their perceived burden.

Result: Significant differences was found between  adults and pre-elderly perceived burden (p=0.000). Adults standard deviation was 25,28 higher compared to pre-elderly standard deviation. This was meant that adult perceived burden was greater than pre-elderly.
