本文报告了一种名为《照顾痴呆症患者的初级家庭照顾者伙伴关系量表》的开发和初步测试，该量表测量了初级家庭照顾者在照顾痴呆症患者时建立伙伴关系的能力。该量表的初稿使用了与五名主要家庭照顾者的访谈中的定性数据；通过与痴呆症护理专家和研究人员的审查过程，创建了39个条目的池。本研究采用探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析的方法，对261名完成该量表的初级家庭照料者的数据进行了分析。这就形成了一个由三个因素和13个条目组成的多维量表。模型的适用性和组内相关系数(ICC)值(1，1)符合统计学标准。该量表的标准相关效度与外部参照显著相关，这是预期的结果。然而，一些分量表的内部一致性较低，这表明需要进一步研究。
This article reports the development and preliminary testing of a new scale named Partnership Scale for Primary Family Caregivers Caring for Patients With Dementia that measures the ability of primary family caregivers to establish partnerships while providing care for patients with dementia in Japan. The first draft of the scale was developed using qualitative data from interviews with five primary family caregivers; a pool of 39 items was created through a review process with dementia care experts and researchers. An exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted with data from 261 primary family caregivers who completed the instrument. This resulted in a multidimensional scale that consists of three factors with 13 items. The suitability of the model and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values (1, 1) obtained by the test-retest method satisfied statistical standards. The criterion-related validity of the scale was significantly correlated to an external reference, which was the desired outcome. However, some subscales exhibited low internal consistency, demonstrating the need for further research.
