The consequences of psychiatric disorders for family members, usually called family or caregiver burden, have been studied during the last 4 decades. During this period a variety of instruments have been developed to measure the impact of mental illness on family members, but not all instruments have been described systematically in the published literature. The authors review 21 instruments that have been used or developed during the last 10 years, including several that have not previously been reported. The protocols are described in terms of their method and comprehensiveness, precursors and theoretical foundations, and types of psychometric information available. The instruments are assessed for potential use as research tools, and also for application in routine clinical practice.
在过去40年里，人们对精神疾病给家庭成员带来的后果（通常称为家庭或照料者负担）进行了研究。在此期间，已开发出多种工具来衡量精神疾病对家庭成员的影响，但并非所有工具都在已发表的文献中得到系统描述。作者回顾了过去10年中使用或开发的21种工具，包括一些此前未报道过的工具。从方法和全面性、前身和理论基础以及可用的心理测量信息类型等方面对这些工具的方案进行了描述。对这些工具作为研究工具的潜在用途以及在常规临床实践中的应用进行了评估。
