Assessment of the rewards of caregiving is pertinent to a holistic view of the caregiving experience and design of health promotion interventions for caregivers. Few measures of caregiver positive appraisals exist. This paper describes the development and pilot testing of the Picot Caregiver Rewards Scale (PCRS) for adult caregivers. Derived from the choice and social exchange theory, caregiver interviews, and literature, 25 items compose the scale. Psychometric testings of the PCRS were conducted in a nonrandom sample of 83 Black female caregivers and a random sample of 256 Black and White female and male caregivers. Alphas of .83 and .88 demonstrated acceptable internal consistency of the revised 16-item PCRS. Construct validity was demonstrated by support of hypothesized relationships with caregiving demands, palliative coping, depression, and caregiver burden, as well as confirmatory factor analysis. Further psychometric study of the PCRS is recommended.
对照顾行为回报的评估与照顾体验的整体观以及为照顾者设计健康促进干预措施相关。目前几乎没有衡量照顾者积极评价的方法。本文描述了针对成年照顾者的皮科特照顾者回报量表（PCRS）的开发和初步测试。该量表源自选择与社会交换理论、照顾者访谈以及文献，由25个项目组成。PCRS的心理测量测试在83名黑人女性照顾者的非随机样本以及256名黑人和白人女性及男性照顾者的随机样本中进行。修订后的16项PCRS的α系数分别为0.83和0.88，表明其内部一致性可接受。通过与照顾需求、姑息应对、抑郁和照顾者负担的假设关系得到支持以及验证性因素分析，证明了结构效度。建议对PCRS进行进一步的心理测量研究。
