Purpose: This study examines the psychometric properties of the Values and Preferences Scale (VPS) and compares the responses of 267 persons with cognitive impairment with the responses of their family caregivers to determine the accuracy of the caregivers' perceptions of their relatives' care values and preferences. Design and Methods: Exploratory factor analyses examined whether a consistent factor structure could be found for the VPS for both persons with cognitive impairment (PWCIs) and family caregivers. Analyses also determined whether family caregivers were accurate in their perceptions of their relative's care preferences. Results: Results indicated that the VPS was best divided into four factors or subscales (i.e., Burden, Safety/Quality of Care, Autonomy, and Social Interactions) all of which were found to have adequate internal consistency for persons with cognitive impairment and family caregivers. Caregivers generally had a good sense of what preferences were most important to their relatives (i.e., issues of safety and quality of care), but often underestimated the importance of certain values and preferences. Implications: These findings support previous work suggesting that practitioners consider incorporating an assessment of values and preferences for everyday care when working with persons with cognitive impairment and their family caregivers. Further application and testing of the Values and Preferences Scale should prove useful to practitioners who assist cognitively impaired persons and their caregivers with health care decision making and planning.
