“…Still, these tools fall short in capturing the resources possessed by the caregivers. This "pathological" view in assessing caregiver needs obscures the possibility of seeing how accepting the responsibility as the caregiver can facilitate the establishment of purpose, stimulation of personal growth, and cultivation of wisdom (Roth et al, 2015;Borson, 2021).…”

IntroductionExisting caregiver assessment tools were long criticized for focusing on the needs and burden while neglecting the importance of the resources. The current study aimed to develop a multidimensional and time-effective assessment tool that measures both needs and resources of non-paid family caregivers of older adults for screening and service-matching purposes.MethodsItems of the Caregiver Needs and Resources Assessment (CNRA) were developed from extensive literature reviews and focus group interviews of family caregivers and social workers in the field. In addition, we collected 317 valid responses from family caregivers of older adults from local non-government organizations in examining the psychometric properties of the CNRA.ResultsThe results revealed a 12-factor structure that fitted nicely into the conceptual frame of needs and resources domains. Need factors were positively associated with mental health symptoms, while resource factors were positively associated with peace in mind, meaning-making, and personal gain measures. The 36-item CNRA revealed good internal reliability and convergent validity.DiscussionThe CNRA has the potential to be used as a compact yet balanced assessment tool for understanding both the needs and resources of caregivers for human service professionals.

Introducción: las personas con enfermedades crónicas se ven afectadas física, emocional, intelectual, social y espiritualmente, incluyendo en su condición al cuidador familiar, quien se ve comprometido con el proceso de utilizar medicamentos de manera implícita al asumir estecompromiso que demanda una serie de saberes y habilidades para generar resultados beneficiosos. Objetivo: realizar la validación de constructo, convergente y discriminante del instrumento Adopción del rol del cuidador con uso de medicamentos (ROL-M) y evaluar la consistencia interna de este. Materiales y método: estudio de validación psicométrica realizado entre agosto de 2020 y febrero de 2022, con una muestra de 321 cuidadores familiares. Resultados: escala con 32 ítems originales, que luego del análisis del constructo teórico y de los resultados iniciales condujo a la eliminación de 12 ítems y la realización de un nuevo análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) forzado a tres factores con los ítems restantes. Los 20 ítems definitivos fueron ajustados a los factores con adecuadas cargas y son congruentes con el planteamiento teórico del instrumento. Se obtuvo un alfa de Cronbach de 0,72, un coeficiente de Pearson de 0,233 con el instrumento ROL y uno de -0,147 con el instrumento Zarit, lo que demuestra su validez convergente y divergente, respectivamente. Conclusiones: el instrumento ROL-M mide de forma lógica el constructo y los ítems que lo conforman representan adecuadamente sus dominios. Este se proyecta como una herramienta clínica clave para desarrollar actividades educativas con relación a la promoción de la transición del cuidado y la educación farmacológica en el hogar.
