“…While the results suggest that the model 2 showed a marginally acceptable fit to the data, a reduced model with fewer items (from 24 to 17, model 3) shows a better fit, maintaining the original structure of three factors (memory, depressive, and disruptive behaviors) for both the frequency and reaction scales. Therefore, the results of this study support the original structure of the RMBPC (Teri et al ., 1992), and this is consistent with the results of previous studies (González-Salvia et al ., 2011; Roth et al ., 2003).…”

“…Losada et al (2008) found that the Spanish version of the RMBPC showed adequate reliability indexes for the frequency and reaction scales, but they did not analyze the factor structure of the scale or the reliability and validity of the specific subscales. Although this questionnaire was adapted for poorly-educated caregivers from Argentina, it is unclear to what extent it is understandable by other Spanishspeaking caregivers, and specifically from Spain, and this has been suggested as a limitation of the study (González-Salvia et al, 2011). Both studies indicated that the reliability and validity of the questionnaire was acceptable.…”

“…González-Salvia et al . (2011) evaluated, with a sample of 92 Argentinian caregivers, the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the RMBPC, finding through EFA a structure similar to that of the original scale with adequate or good internal consistency rates. Although this questionnaire was adapted for poorly-educated caregivers from Argentina, it is unclear to what extent it is understandable by other Spanish-speaking caregivers, and specifically from Spain, and this has been suggested as a limitation of the study (González-Salvia et al ., 2011).…”

“…It has 24 items with Likert‐type response ranging between 0 and 4 for frequency of and stress associated with the behavior (e.g., “Doing things that embarrass you”). Good test–retest reliability in Spanish dementia caregivers has been reported, also significant associations with other measures of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (Salvia et al., 2011). The internal consistency indexes (Cronbach’s alpha) in this study were .78 for the frequency and .87 for the reaction subscale.…”

Family Dynamics in Dementia Caregiving: Development and Validation of the Interpersonal Triggers of Guilt in Dementia Caregiving Questionnaire (ITGDCQ)

The objective was to develop the Interpersonal Triggers of Guilt in Dementia Caregiving Questionnaire (ITGDCQ). An emotion frequently experienced by caregivers is guilt. However, the studies analyzing potential factors that generate guilt are scarce. Guilt may be generated through interpersonal interactions. A total of 201 dementia caregivers were evaluated for frequency of leisure, guilt, anxiety, depression, and a pool of items measuring the frequency, and guilt was derived from different behaviors performed by the care recipient (ITGDCQ‐CR) and other relatives (ITGDCQ‐OR). Exploratory factor analysis of the ITGDCQ‐CR showed a two‐factor solution, explaining 56.24% of the variance. The ITGDCQ‐OR subscale also showed two factors, explaining 63.24% of the variance. All the factors had acceptable to good reliability indexes. Positive associations were found between both subscales and depression, anxiety, guilt, and stress associated with CR’s behavioral problems. ITGDCQ‐CR was negatively correlated with frequency of leisure. The interpersonal dynamics assessed with the ITGDCQ generated other emotions such as anger or sadness. Through structural equation modeling, 28% of the variance of caregivers’ distress was explained by the assessed variables, including a significant contribution of the interpersonal dynamics assessed with the ITGDCQ. The results provide preliminary support for the use of the ITGDCQ as a valid and reliable measure of care recipients’ or other relatives’ factors that trigger or facilitate the experience of guilt in the caregivers. The association between these factors and caregiver distress suggests potential clinical implications for the findings.

Behavioral and psychiatric symptoms (BPSD), common in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD), are known to be associated with caregiver burdening. Therefore, early recognition of BPSD is necessary to protect these caregivers. The aim of this validation study was to test the internal consistency, test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of an Italian translation of the revised memory and behavior problems checklist (RMBPC), as it demonstrated high plasticity in timely measuring the day-to-day BPSD changes that challenge caregivers. A cohort of 355 dyads composed of AD subjects and their principal caregivers were assessed with the Italian version of RMPBC capitalizing on the information provided by the latter ones. The results were compared with the ones from other predictors (i.e., the Zarit Burben Interview, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the EurQuality of Life, the neuropsychiatric symptoms). The validity and stability of the It-RMBPC resulted being solid and concurrent reliability resulted having higher correlations with principal caregiver anxiety level. Future studies on the role of BPSD in fostering anxiety in AD principal caregivers are merited.
