and individualized nursing teaching, psychological counseling, and community rehabilitation, etc. The whole process lasted for 1 year. The scales of Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), symptom checklist 90(SCL-90), and the WHO of quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) were performed before and after intervention in two groups. Results: 1 years later, ZBI of the CG had no significant difference (P>0.05), while ZBI of the EG decreased significantly (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The finding indicated that the AD caregivers burden of the EG was relieved compared with the CG. The SCL-90 score of the CG was increased compared with before intervention (P < 0.05), while the SCL-90 score of the EG was decreased (P < 0.05). The statistically difference between the two groups were found (P < 0.05), which revealed that 1 years later the psychological burden of the EG was lighter than that of the CG. Compared with before intervention, the WHOQOL-BREF score of the CG was decreased significantly (P<0.05), while the WHOQOL-BREF score of the EG increased (P<0.05). There were statistical differences between the two groups (P<0.05), which showed that the quality of life of the EG was higher than that of the CG. Conclusions: The extended nursing based on “time it right” theory can obviously reduce the burden of caregivers of AD patient, improve their mental status and improve their quality of life.
