A Caregiver Assessment is a systematic process of gathering information that describes a caregiving situation and identifies the particular problems, needs, resources and strengths of the family caregiver.
Scoring is 2 points for each 'yes', and 1 point for each 'sometimes' response. The higher the score, the higher the level of caregiver strain. VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY: Internal reliability coefficient is slightly higher (=. 90) than the coefficient originally reported for the CSI in 1983 (=.
The Burden Interview is composed of 22 questions, with a total score ranging between zero and 88 points, where larger scores indicate more significant burden( 6 ). The activities of daily living scales were completed by the caregivers to assess the elderly individuals' levels of dependence.
The measure contains five dimensions: personal and social restrictions, physical and emotional health, economic costs, value investment in caregiving, and the perception of the care recipient as provocateur. Items are scored on a 4-point scale (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree).
Caregiver Burden Scale, CB (Elmstahl et al. 1996)- a 22-item questionnaire to measure the subjective burden of caregivers in five domains (general strain, isolation, disappointment, emotional involvement, and environment).
Caregiver difficulties scale (P-CDS) Each item was scored on a 5-point (0–4) Likert scale indicating the frequency/extent of each caregiving experience as perceived by the caregivers, with a final total score ranging from 0 to 100.
SCORING KEY: o to 20 = little or no burden; 21 to 40 = mild to moderate burden; 41 to 60 = moderate to severe burden; 61 to 88 = severe burden. FIGURE 4. Caregiver Burden Scale.
Gerontologic health scientific literature identifies a number of scales to measure caregiver burden. The Zarit Scale of Caregiver Burden or the Zarit Burden Interview is the most widely used instrument. Originally designed and tested in 1980 containing 29 items, it was reduced to 22 questions.
The MCSI was modified and developed in 2003 with a sample of 158 family caregivers providing assistance to older adults living in a community-based setting. Scoring is 2 points for each 'yes', 1 point for each 'sometimes', and 0 for each 'no' response.
