Caregiver Burden Inventory(CBI) first designed by Novak and Guest in 1989 to measure burden of patient's caregiver. Caregiver can be a relative or a professional. CBI consists of 5 different subscales(Time Dependency Items(5 question),Development Items(5 question),Physical Health Items(4 question),Emotional Health Items(5 question),Social Relationship Items(5 question)), a total of 24 questions. Every question should be answered by the caregiver according to a likert scale (0=Never,1=Rarely,2=Sometimes,3=Quite Frequently,4=Nearly Always) and a total of 96 points. 36 point is a limit to a professional help for caregiver and the higher the points get there is more burden for caregiver.
