护理人员应变指数（CSI）的发展与配偶，家人，朋友和邻居，年龄22-83岁，谁提供不同程度的照顾最近住院髋关节手术和心脏病患者年龄65岁及以上的样本，概述。81例患者的13项CSI的内部一致性（Cronbach’s）为0.86。本研究在三个构念效度领域获得证据：前病患的特徴、照顾者对照顾关系的主观知觉及照顾者的情绪健康。显然，CSI是一个简短的，易于管理的工具，它确定了非正式护理提供者样本中的压力。目前正在进一步发展CSI，以预测特定的护理人员群体面临的风险。这一简单的指数可有益地纳入任何审查涉及抚养和照料的代际关系的访谈或评估包中。
The development of a Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) with a sample of spouses, family, friends and neighbors, aged 22-83 yr, who provided varying degrees of care to recently hospitalized hip surgery and heart patients aged 65 yr and over, was outlined. Internal consistency (Cronbach''s) for the 13-item CSI on 81 cases was 0.86. Evidence of construct validity was obtained in 3 areas: ex-patient characteristics, subjective perceptions of the care-taking relationship by caregivers and emotional health of cargivers. Apparently, the CSI is a brief, easily administered instrument which identified strain within the sample of informal care providers. Further development of the CSI is being undertaken for predicting specific caregiver populations at risk. This simple index might be usefully included in any interview or assessment package that examines intergenerational relations involving dependency and care.
