OBJECTIVE
Community-based care for mental disorders places considerable burden on families and carers. Measuring their experiences has become a priority, but there is no consensus on appropriate instruments. We aimed to review instruments carers consider relevant to their needs and assess evidence for their use.
METHOD
A literature search was conducted for outcome measures used with mental health carers. Identified instruments were assessed for their relevance to the outcomes identified by carers and their psychometric properties.
RESULTS
Three hundred and ninety two published articles referring to 241 outcome measures were identified, 64 of which were eligible for review (used in three or more studies). Twenty-six instruments had good psychometric properties; they measured (i) carers' well-being, (ii) the experience of caregiving and (iii) carers' needs for professional support.
CONCLUSION
Measures exist which have been used to assess the most salient aspects of carers outcome in mental health. All require further work to establish their psychometric properties fully.
目的
基于社区的精神障碍护理给家庭和照料者带来了相当大的负担。衡量他们的经历已成为当务之急，但对于合适的工具尚无共识。我们旨在回顾照料者认为与其需求相关的工具，并评估其使用证据。
方法
对用于精神卫生照料者的结局指标进行文献检索。对识别出的工具评估其与照料者确定的结局的相关性及其心理测量特性。
结果
识别出392篇发表的文章，涉及241个结局指标，其中64个符合纳入综述的标准（在三项或更多研究中使用）。26种工具具有良好的心理测量特性；它们测量了（i）照料者的幸福感，（ii）照料经历，以及（iii）照料者对专业支持的需求。
结论
已有用于评估精神卫生照料者结局最显著方面的测量工具。所有这些工具都需要进一步开展工作以全面确立其心理测量特性。
