To develop a specific scale used in measuring caregiver burden in China, and to evaluate its reliability and validity.
Participants from the First and Second Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University and the Hospital of Tiefa Coal Industry Group completed the Chinese version of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview.
A total of 523 caregivers were included. The internal consistency of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview was high (Cronbach's alpha 0.875). The item-total correlations were all statistically significant (P < 0.01). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five factors of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview in this study, and the goodness-of-fit indices reported for this 5-factor model all fell within the acceptable range.
The Chinese version of the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview is reliable and valid for use. This study has important implications for burden measurement in Chinese caregivers.
开发一种专门用于测量中国照护者负担的量表，并评估其信度和效度。
来自中国医科大学第一和第二附属医院以及铁法煤业集团医院的参与者完成了中文版 Zarit 照护者负担访谈。
共有 523 名照护者被纳入研究。Zarit 照护者负担访谈的内部一致性较高（Cronbach's alpha 0.875）。各条目与总分的相关性均具有统计学意义（P < 0.01）。验证性因子分析证实了本研究中 Zarit 照护者负担访谈的五个因素，且该 5 因素模型的拟合优度指数均在可接受范围内。
中文版 Zarit 照护者负担访谈具有良好的信度和效度，适用于中国照护者的负担测量。本研究对中国照护者的负担测量具有重要意义。
