照顾者反应评估量表（CRA）是一种旨在评估照顾情况的特定方面的工具，包括照顾反应的消极和积极方面。本文讨论了心理素质的CRA在一项多中心研究中的合作伙伴的结直肠癌患者（n = 181）。没有观察到可行性问题。通过探索性因素分析确定了照顾者反应的五个维度：照顾对打乱日程的影响、经济问题、缺乏家庭支持、健康问题以及照顾对照顾者自尊的影响。可靠性分析表明，标准化Cronbach的α值在0.62和0.83之间变化的单独的分量表，表明有足够的内部可靠性。结构效度得到支持。CRA被证明是一个可行的，可靠的和有效的工具，以评估阴性和阳性反应的癌症患者的合作伙伴之间的生育。(C)1999爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
The Caregiver Reaction Assessment Scale (CRA) is an instrument designed to assess specific aspects of the caregiving situation, including both negative and positive dimensions of caregiving reactions. This paper addresses the psychometric qualities of the CRA in a multicenter study among partners of colorectal cancer patients (n = 181). No problems in feasibility were observed. Five dimensions of caregiver reactions were identified through exploratory factor analysis: the impact of caregiving on disrupted schedule, financial problems, lack of family support, health problems and the impact of caregiving on caregiver's self-esteem. Reliability analyses showed that standardized Cronbach's alpha's varied between 0.62 and 0.83 for the separate subscales, indicating sufficient internal consistencies. Construct validity was supported. The CRA proves to be a feasible, reliable and valid instrument for assessing both negative and positive reactions to caregiving among partners of patients with cancer. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
