Although the diagnosis disclosure of Alzheimer's disease is very important ethical issue in dementia clinic, there are not so many studies about attitude of carers, who taking care of people of Alzheimer in their institution, toward telling the truth about diagnosis of AD. We have developed a attitude scale by Thurstone scale and surveyed attitudes of professional carers by this scale. There are difference between professional carers by comparison with the attitude score, correspondence analysis and cluster analysis of the result of each question item.
