CONTEXT
There is a need for brief measurement instruments that do not cause burden to hospice caregivers. The Caregiver Quality of Life Index (CQLI) has been used in several studies, but assessment of its psychometric properties has been minimal. The CQLI-R (revised) instrument was found to have equivalent properties but also has had minimal testing in small samples.
OBJECTIVE
This study sought to evaluate the reliability and validity of the CQLI-R.
METHODS
Data were used from three hospice clinical trials. Reliability was assessed using test-retest and an item analysis. Construct validity was evaluated by comparing items to similar items within the same data set.
RESULTS
Test-rest and item analysis found moderate-to-good reliability. Construct validity found significance in comparison of CQLI-R items with those of similar instruments.
CONCLUSIONS
The CQLI-R is an easy-to-use instrument to assess caregiver quality of life. Despite adequate reliability and construct validity, further evidence is needed to support content validity.
背景
需要一种不会给临终关怀护理人员带来负担的简短测量工具。《护理人员生活质量指数（CQLI）》已在多项研究中使用，但对其心理测量特性的评估很少。CQLI-R（修订版）工具被发现具有等效的特性，但在小样本中也进行了最小限度的测试。
目的
本研究旨在评估 CQLI-R 的可靠性和有效性。
方法
数据来自三项临终关怀临床试验。使用重测和项目分析来评估可靠性。通过将项目与同一数据集中类似的项目进行比较来评估结构有效性。
结果
重测和项目分析发现具有中等到良好的可靠性。结构有效性发现 CQLI-R 项目与类似工具的项目相比具有显著性。
结论
CQLI-R 是一种易于使用的评估护理人员生活质量的工具。尽管具有足够的可靠性和结构有效性，但仍需要进一步的证据来支持内容有效性。
