In Chinese or Eastern society, most end-of-life (EOL) patients still choose to die at home. However, primary family caregivers usually do not prepare themselves to face the death of patients. Therefore, a measurement of the readiness for home-based palliative care for primary family caregivers is needed. In this study, the readiness for home-based palliative care scale (RHBPCS) for primary family caregivers was developed to assess the readiness of primary family caregivers. This study recruited 103 participants from five branches of one municipal hospital system. The reliability and validity of the RHBPCS was evaluated using expert validity examination, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and item analysis. The results showed that the RHBPCS had strong goodness-of-fit and good reliability and validity. In summary, the RHBPCS is suggested for assessing the readiness for home-based palliative care of primary family caregivers.
在华人或东方社会，大多数临终患者仍选择在家中离世。然而，主要家庭照顾者通常并未做好面对患者死亡的准备。因此，需要一种衡量主要家庭照顾者居家姑息治疗准备情况的方法。在本研究中，开发了主要家庭照顾者居家姑息治疗准备情况量表（RHBPCS），以评估主要家庭照顾者的准备情况。本研究从一个市级医院系统的五个分支机构招募了103名参与者。使用专家效度检验、验证性因素分析（CFA）和项目分析对RHBPCS的信效度进行评估。结果表明，RHBPCS具有很强的拟合优度以及良好的信效度。总之，建议使用RHBPCS来评估主要家庭照顾者居家姑息治疗的准备情况。
