Although guilt feelings are emotions that arise quite commonly to caregivers and increase their burden, there is not much research about them. As Consequ -ence, the first aim of the study is to discover how the caregiver’s burden for elderly either at family homes or nursing home effects on their guilt. Secondly, this study aims to seek the ideal methods in order to solve out the caregiver’s guilt. The questionnaire survey was conducted for 220 caregivers caring frail elders over 60 years of age by visiting. The gauge the guilt feelings was measured by criterion for research on good deeds, and the factors for the guilt feelings were classified into four types: lack of self-control, lack of resources, burnout, and the normative factor. As a result, the following findings were derived. First, the caregivers of the elderly at a nursing home appeared to have more burden and guilt feelings. Second, as for the factors of the guilt feelings, lack of resources and burnout appeared to be the factors in the case of the caregivers of the elderly at home, and lack of self-control, burnout, and normative factors appeared to be so for the caregivers of the elderly at a facility. From such results, it can be noted that caregiver’s face challenges since the guilt feelings, which are dysfunctional feeling, increase the burden of caregiving. Therefore, there is a need for the develo -pment of programs to understand, prevent, and reduce the guilt feeling caregivers.
