照顾压力评估量表（CSA）是一个简单的量表，用于测量家庭照顾者的压力。然而，关于其有效性及其与日本新的社会福利制度的联系的信息并不充分。本研究的目的是检查CSA的标准效度，并探讨其与用于评估日本长期护理保险的变量之间的关系。在本研究中，219家庭照顾者完成了自填式问卷。其中，50名和202名照顾者分别用于效标效度和结构效度分析。CSA、日本版Zarit负担访谈（J-ZBI）、流行病学抑郁症中心（CES-D）和用于评估日本长期护理保险的项目用于分析。结果表明，CSA与J-ZBI和CES-D之间存在显著相关。尽管样本量小，CSA有显着的相关性，用于评估长期护理保险在日本的项目。这些结果表明，足够的标准和结构效度的CSA为未来的研究。(c)2006爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
The Caregiving Stress Appraisal (CSA) scale is a simple scale for measuring family caregiver stress. However, information on its validity and association with new social welfare systems in Japan is inadequate. The purpose of the present study is to examine the criterion validity of the CSA and to explore its association with the variables used for assessing long-term care insurance in Japan. In the present study, 219 family caregivers completed a self-administered questionnaire. Of these, 50 and 202 caregivers were used for the analysis of the criterion validity and construct validity, respectively. The CSA, the Japanese version of the Zarit Burden Interview (J-ZBI), the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D), and the items used for assessing long-term care insurance in Japan were used for the analyses. The results revealed that the CSA had significant correlations with the J-ZBI and the CES-D. Despite the small sample size, the CSA had significant correlations with the items used for assessing long-term care insurance in Japan. These results suggest sufficient criterion and construct validity of the CSA for the future study. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
