The involvement evaluation questionnaire (IEQ) was created to evaluate the caregiver's experience of burden and the consequences of providing care to people with psychotic disorders. To date, the IEQ has not been validated with caregivers of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The main objective of the study was to confirm the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the Spanish version of the IEQ in 151 caregivers of people with BPD, with an average age of 54.52 (SD = 9.91). Two models were tested by means of confirmatory factor analysis, following the original factor structure. The Models 1 and 2 displayed adequate fit, with comparative fit index and Tucker-Lewis index > 0.90 and root-mean-square root of approximation < 0.08; however, Model 2 was more parsimonious. The Cronbach's alphas are adequate, ranging from 0.70 to 0.85. The consequences of providing care to people with BPD had a low or moderate association with the Level of Expressed Emotion scores. IEQ scores of caregivers of people diagnosed with BPD with psychiatric comorbidity did not differ from those of caregivers of people diagnosed with BPD without psychiatric comorbidity. The IEQ has adequate psychometric properties and can be utilized to assess burden in caregivers of people with BPD.
参与评估问卷（IEQ）旨在评估照顾者在照顾精神病患者时的负担体验和后果。迄今为止，IEQ 尚未在被诊断患有边缘型人格障碍（BPD）的照顾者中进行验证。该研究的主要目的是通过对 151 名 BPD 患者的照顾者进行确认性因素分析，确认 IEQ 西班牙语版本的心理测量特性和因子结构，这些照顾者的平均年龄为 54.52（SD=9.91）。通过验证性因素分析，测试了两种模型，遵循原始的因子结构。模型 1 和模型 2 的拟合度适中，比较拟合指数和塔克-刘易斯指数>0.90，平方根均值逼近值<0.08；然而，模型 2 更简洁。Cronbach's α 值适中，范围在 0.70 到 0.85 之间。照顾者对 BPD 患者的照顾后果与情绪表达水平的得分呈低度或中度相关。与无精神共病的 BPD 患者相比，有精神共病的 BPD 患者的照顾者的 IEQ 评分没有差异。IEQ 具有良好的心理测量特性，可用于评估 BPD 患者照顾者的负担。
