“…); or the care recipient (age, sex, educational level, comorbidity, level of dependency, etc.). In this sense, other published studies on the RCAS have explored the factors associated with the family caregiver, such as place of residence, age, race, educational level and kinship relationship (DiBartolo & Soeken, 2003 ; Hanks et al, 2007 ; Lee et al, 2007 , 2010 ; Sander et al, 2007 ); the factors associated with caregiving, such as the time spent caring, the quality of the relationship between the family caregiver and care recipient, the type of tangible or non‐tangible assistance perceived by the family caregiver (Chen et al, 2010 ; Chronister et al, 2010 ; Dibartolo & Soeken, 2003 ; Hanks et al, 2007 ; TalKington‐boyer & Snyder, 1994 ); o the characteristics of the care recipient, such as the severity of the illness they are suffering from (Purden et al, 2013 ).…”

“…Therefore, the RCAS scale, besides being designed for family caregivers of older people and presenting a solid theoretical basis, has been adapted cross‐culturally to other countries such as Korea, K‐RCAS (Lee et al, 2007 ) and Iran, known as the Persian version of RCAS (Farhadi et al, 2017 ). In addition, this scale has been studied by other international authors (Hanks et al, 2007 ; Iecovich, 2016 ; Purden et al, 2013 ; Sevick et al, 1997 ; Struchen et al, 2002 ) and modified to other versions (Braithwaite, 1996 ; Brown et al, 2013 ; Sakurai, 1999 ).…”

Aim To develop a transcultural adaptation of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale among Spanish caregivers of dependent older people and to test the psychometric properties of the scale. Design Cross‐sectional study. Methods The Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale was transculturally adapted to the Spanish population following the methodology of direct and back translation. The Spanish version of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale was administered to a total of 182 family caregivers of older dependent people. The study began in January 2016 and ended in December of the same year. The construct validity was studied by means of the scree plot and parallel analysis. The exploratory factorial analysis was carried out, and the correlation between factors was studied. To verify the reliability of the process, Cronbach's alpha and homogeneity were calculated by the corrected total item correlation. The validity of the convergent criterion was studied by means of the Pearson correlation coefficient, using the Zarit Caregiver Load Interview and the Family Satisfaction Scale as the gold standard. Results The construct validity revealed three factors: ‘Subjective Burden’ (15 items), ‘Satisfaction’ (7 items) and ‘Competence’ (3 items). The Cronbach alpha was .86 for ‘Subjective Burden’, .74 for ‘Satisfaction’ and .74 for ‘Competence’. The corrected total item correlation was greater than .25. The validity of the convergent criterion of the ‘Subjective Burden’ and ‘Competence’ factors with the ‘Zarit Caregiver's Load Interview’ presented a very high statistically significant correlation, unlike ‘Satisfaction’ which presented a low positive correlation with the ‘Family Satisfaction Scale’. Conclusion The Spanish version of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale is a valid and reliable scale according to the tests performed on a random sample of family caregivers of older dependent people in Spain. Impact This scale will enable the simultaneous assessment of negative (‘Subjective Burden’ and ‘Competence’) and positive (‘Satisfaction’) perceptions among family caregivers of older dependent people.

Background Family members often need to be supported in informal care of the elderly and desire to be involved into care planning and decision‐making. Valid and reliable instruments are needed to measure how family members perceive the care and support they receive from nurses for older family members living at home. Aim The purpose of this study was to translate the 20‐item social support scale of the Family Functioning, Family Health and Social Support (FAFHES) questionnaire from English to German and test the validity and reliability of the scale among Swiss‐German‐speaking family caregivers of home‐dwelling elderly people who receive home healthcare services. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted to test the empirical and psychometric properties of the translated and culturally adapted version of the social support questionnaire. A factor analysis with the principal component analysis PCA was used to test construct validity. The internal consistency of items was measured with the Cronbach`s alpha coefficient. Results After a rigorous translation process the original 20‐item questionnaire was adapted into a 19‐item version and tested with family caregivers (n = 207) of home‐dwelling elderly. Psychometric testing of the German version of the social support questionnaire revealed that the three factors – affirmation, affect and concrete aid – were congruent with the original questionnaire. The accounted variance was 79.5% and the internal consistency determined by the Cronbach's alpha was 0.973. Conclusion The German version of the social support scale of the FAFHES questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess family perceived support on three dimensions – affirmation, affect and concrete aid – received from nursing professionals. The questionnaire should be tested further in other German‐speaking populations.

Caregiving appraisal and disease activity in early inflammatory arthritis

Abstract: This study indicates that, in early inflammatory arthritis, patients' caregiving appraisal might be important to consider when assessing disease activity. Clinicians are encouraged to include both patients and their spouse caregivers in interventions.
