This paper critiques and discusses 10 measures of burden that have been used with caregivers of individuals with dementia. Current measures target diverse caregiver and care recipient populations, and vary in conceptualization and measurement of burden. Although many measures contain reliability data, relatively few report content validity, convergent/divergent validity, criterion validity, or sensitivity to change. Implications of these limitations for research and clinical practice are discussed.
本文对已用于痴呆症患者照料者的10种负担测量方法进行了批判和讨论。当前的测量方法针对不同的照料者和受照料者群体，在负担的概念化和测量方面存在差异。尽管许多测量方法包含可靠性数据，但报告内容效度、收敛/发散效度、效标效度或对变化的敏感性的相对较少。本文讨论了这些局限性对研究和临床实践的影响。
