报道了一种多维工具的开发和测试，该工具用于评估照顾患有身体残疾、阿尔茨海默病和癌症的老年人的家庭成员的反应。对377名身体残疾和阿尔茨海默病患者的照顾者样本进行了40项测试。通过探索性因素分析确定了照顾者反应的五个维度。对独立样本(N=377)进行验证性因素分析，对这些维度在配偶和非配偶照顾者之间以及癌症患者和阿尔茨海默病患者照顾者之间的阶乘不变性进行了测试。在三波小组研究(N=185)中，子量表也有很高水平的阶乘不变性。各分量表与结构效度的一阶检验结果一致。
The development and testing of a multidimensional instrument to assess the reactions of family members caring for elderly persons with physical impairments, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer is reported. Forty items were administered to a sample of 377 caregivers of persons with physical impairments and Alzheimer's disease. Five dimensions of caregivers' reactions were identified through exploratory factor analysis. Using confirmatory factor analysis on an independent sample (N = 377), these dimensions were tested for factorial invariance across spouse and nonspouse caregivers and between caregivers of persons with cancer and those caring for persons with Alzheimer's disease. The subscales also had a high level of factorial invariance across a three-wave panel study (N = 185). The subscales appeared consistent with first order tests of construct validity.
