目的：对照顾者困难评估指数、照顾者满意评估指数和照顾者管理评估指数进行心理测量学评估。方法：数据收集在三个欧洲国家的非正式照顾者的老年人（n = 295）通过一个共同的协议。照顾者完成：（a）包含人口统计学和生育特征项目的问卷和（B）CADI-CASI-CAMI指数。对CADI-CASI-CAMI指数进行主成分分析，然后对紧急成分进行内部一致性分析。通过对各组成部分的项目负荷求和得出的量表与人口统计学和年龄特征变量的相关性进行了分析。结果：CADI产生了6个内部一致和可解释的组件，CASI 5和CAMI 7。各分量表与人口统计学和年龄特征变量显著相关，为结构效度提供了初步支持。结论：建议将CADI-CASI-CAMI指数作为与老年人家庭护理者深入合作的评估工具，并作为大规模家庭护理研究的研究工具。
Objectives: To perform a psychometric evaluation of the Carers Assessment of Difficulties Index, Carers Assessment of Satisfactions Index and the Carers Assessment of Managing Index (CADI-CASI-CAMI). Method: Data was collected in three European countries from informal carers of older people (n = 295) via a common protocol. Carers completed: (a) a questionnaire containing items on demographics and caregiving characteristics and (b) the CADI-CASI-CAMI indices. Principal component analysis of the CADI-CASI-CAMI indices was followed by internal consistency analysis of emergent components. Scales derived by summing items loading on the components were analysed for their association with the demographic and caregiving characteristic variables. Results: CADI produced six internally consistent and interpretable components, CASI five and CAMI seven. Subscales derived from the components were significantly associated with the demographic and caregiving characteristic variables, providing initial support for construct validity. Conclusion: The CADI-CASI-CAMI indices are recommended as an assessment tool for in-depth work with family carers of older people and as a research tool for large-scale studies of family care.
