“…A four‐factor structure (1. management of physical symptoms and comfort , 2. patient care and sharing information , 3. symptoms and side effects and 4. family and patient support ) is obtained by Ooraikul et al. ( 2020 ) in the validation of the Thai FAMCARE‐2 Scale, based on PCA (KMO = 0.88). These results are similar to those obtained by Aoun et al.…”

AimThe aim of this research is to identify the main approaches and domains of palliative care quality assessment through three questionnaires used for this purpose.DesignSystematic review.MethodsThe proposed analysis process consists of three stages from 2000 to 2020: (i) massive literature search, (ii) text mining and (iii) systematic reviews carried out on the QLQ C30, Zarit Burden Interview and FAMCARE questionnaires. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA‐P) have guided our research.ResultsSixteen papers were included in our study. The main findings have been summarised using a descriptive narrative synthesis approach. Systematic reviews evidenced that such tools present variable factor structures or latent domains. The results obtained are generally representative of the evidence supporting the factor structure of the QLQ‐C30 in the general cancer population. The factor structure of the Zarit Burden Interview remains ambiguous, although the idea of a unifactorial structure predominates. In the case of FAMCARE, most of the factor structures differ from the initial proposal of Kristjanson. The categorisation of the main subjective assessment approaches could be useful for the construction of a coherent system of indicators to be used in nursing practice. For its part, the variability in the latent dimensionality of the questionnaires analysed could be due to: (i) the characteristics of the sample, (ii) the population studied, (iii) cross‐cultural variability, (iv) the design of the questionnaire and (v) the analysis techniques employed.

Background: A primary caregiver shares the illness experience of the patient and undertakes vital care work, alongside managing the patient's emotions, and is actively involved in care process without being paid. When faced with the palliative care patient's needs, caregivers are affected on multiple levels (physical, psychological and socio-economic), thereby experiencing a moderate or severe burden of care. Aim: To identify assessment instruments for the burden of care for family caregivers that are suitable to be used in clinical practice. Method: A narrative review was conducted using an electronic search in Pubmed, PsychINFO, CINAHL of articles published in English between 2009–2019, using the search terms: ‘caregiver/family, caregiver/carer and burden and palliative care/hospice/end of life’. An assessment grid was developed to appraise the clinical use of identified instruments. Results: Of the 568 articles identified, 40 quantitative studies were selected using 31 instruments to measure the caregiver burden of cancer, noncancer and terminally ill patients. Most instruments 23 (74.11%) evaluate the psycho-emotional and, 22 (70.96%) the social domain, 12 instruments (38.7%) focused on the physical domain, three (9.67%) on the spiritual field and six instruments (19.35%) on economic aspects. For the multidimensional instruments, the assessment grid scored highest for the Burden Scale for Family Caregiver (BSFC). Conclusion: The BSFC is the tool that seems to meet the most requirements, being potentially the most useful tool in clinical practice.
