Abstract: (247 Views)
Background: Stroke is recognized as the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of both disability and mortality on a global scale. Over the past few decades, the burden of stroke has continued to rise. The CBI, a commonly used tool across various caregiver populations, has demonstrated its effectiveness in comprehensively evaluating the impact of burden. The study is methodological that to the aim of translation and evaluate the validation the Caregiver Burden Inventory among Caregivers of Stroke Patients (CBI).
Methods: The 'forward-backward' procedure was applied to translate the questionnaire from English into Persian. One hundred and twelve caregivers of stroke patients were included in this study completed measure (translated version of the CBI). Validity was assessed using exploratory factor analysis and known group comparison. The Cronbach's alpha was used to assess reliability of the CBI.
Results: The mean age of caregivers of stroke patients was 47.06 (SD=9.07) years and the majority were woman (79.5%). The construct validity of the CBI was assessed using exploratory factor analysis, which identified four factors: Development and Physical health, time-dependence, emotional health and Social Relationships. Together, these factors explained 68.6% of the total variance observed. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the CBI was 0.94, with values ranging from 0.80 to 0.93 for its subscales.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence that the Persian version of the CBI is a reliable and valid tool for measuring burden among caregivers of stroke patients. These results can inform the development of interventions to improve caregiving outcomes for both caregivers and stroke patients.
