A modified version of the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist (RMBPC; L. Teri et al., 1992) was administered across 6 different sites to 1,229 family caregivers of community-dwelling adults with dementia. The total sample was divided randomly into 2 subsamples. Principal components analyses on occurrence responses and reaction ratings from the first subsample resulted in a 3-factor solution that closely resembled the originally proposed dimensions (memory-related problems, disruptive behaviors, and depression). Confirmatory factor analyses on data from the second subsample indicated adequate fit for the 3-factor model. Correlations with other caregiver and care-recipient measures supported the convergent and discriminant validity of the RMBPC measures. In addition, female caregivers and White caregivers reported more problems, on average, than male caregivers and African American caregivers, respectively.
修订后的记忆与行为问题清单（RMBPC；L. 泰里等人，1992年）的一个修改版本在6个不同地点对1229名居家患有痴呆症成年人的家庭照料者进行了施测。总样本被随机分为两个子样本。对第一个子样本的发生反应和反应评分进行主成分分析，得到了一个三因素解决方案，该方案与最初提出的维度（记忆相关问题、破坏性行为和抑郁）非常相似。对第二个子样本的数据进行验证性因素分析表明，三因素模型拟合良好。与其他照料者和受照料者测量指标的相关性支持了RMBPC测量指标的聚合效度和区分效度。此外，女性照料者和白人照料者平均分别比男性照料者和非裔美国照料者报告了更多问题。
