结局指标
主要结局
Anxiety Stay and Trait
时间窗: 3 months
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) is a commonly used measure of trait and state anxiety that also is often used in research as an indicator of caregiver distress. It has 20 items for assessing trait anxiety and 20 for state anxiety, on a 4-point Likert scale. Scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores correlating with greater anxiety
Depression
时间窗: 3 months
Assessed with the BDI-II that contains 21 items and identifies symptoms and attitudes associated with depression. Each item is evaluated on a severity scale ranging from 0-3, with a total score ranging from 0-63. Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms
Health-related quality of life
时间窗: 3 months
For evaluating Health-Related Quality of Life is going to use the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36). The SF-36 measures eight scales: physical functioning (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RE), and mental health (MH). Component analyses showed that there are two distinct concepts measured by the SF-36: a physical dimension, represented by the Physical Component Summary (PCS), and a mental dimension, represented by the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The correct calculation of SF-36 summary measures PCS and MCS requires the use of special algorithms. The scores obtained in this questionnaire range from 0 to 100, with 0 being the worst state of health and 100 the best state of health for the dimension assessed. Thus, the higher the score obtained, the better the quality of life of the person assessed.
Burden
时间窗: 3 months
To assess the burden, it is using the Burden Zarit Interview that is a self-report instrument that assesses the level of caregiver burden. It consists of 22 items that are assessed using a Likert-type scale, where higher scores indicate greater burnout.
