Abstract

Objective  To translate the Care Stress Management Scale(CSMS) in Family Caregiver into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity among the family caregivers of patients with dementia.

Methods  The scale was translated into Chinese according to the Brislin model and cross-cultural debugging was carried out. A convenience sampling method was used to administer the questionnaire to 110 family caregivers of dementia patients in Shiyan City from April 2023 to May 2024 to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale.

Results  The Chinese version of the CSMS comprises 2 dimensions with a total of 8 items. The Cronbach's  α coefficient of the overall scale was 0.862, the spilt-half reliability was 0.680, and the intraclass correlation coefficient value for test-retest reliability was 0.842 [95%CI (0.647, 0.934)]. The item-level content validity index was 0.833~1.000, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.875. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two common factors that could explain 69.473% of the total variation, namely emotional-focused coping (4 items) and problem-focused coping (4 items).

Conclusion  The Chinese version of CSMS has good reliability and validity, which can be used to assess the ability of family caregivers of dementia patients to manage stress in caregiving.
