Primary Outcomes
Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS)
Time Frame: Completed at baseline and at study completion; 10 weeks after enrollment
The CBS is a 21-item questionnaire where caregivers rate responses based on perceived level of burden on a 0-4 Likert scale. Scores are summed with higher scores indicating greater caregiver burden. No or minimal burden: 0 to 20 Mild to moderate burden: 21 to 40 Moderate to severe burden: 41-60 Severe burden: 61 to 88
Caregiver Self-Efficacy Scale
Time Frame: Completed at baseline and at study completion; 10 weeks after enrollment
The Caregiver Self-Efficacy scale is a an 8-item questionnaire where caregivers rate their level of confidence on their ability to keep up with their own activities and caregiving situations using a 0-10 scale with 10 being totally confident. Total self-efficacy score is the mean of the eight items with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.
