结局指标
主要结局
Caregiver negative Coping
时间窗: Baseline and one year later
The Brief COPE Inventory is a shortened version (28 items) of the COPE inventory in which respondents indicate how often they use a particular coping strategy under stress as ranked on a 4-point scale with 1 (I haven't been doing this at all) to 4 (I've been doing this a lot). Examples of items include "I've been using alcohol or drugs to help me get through it." and "I've been criticizing myself" (α=0.72, 0.84, 0.75 for emotion, problem, and dysfunction focused subscales). Higher scores indicate poorer coping. Administration is 10 minutes
Caregiver perceived stress
时间窗: Baseline and one year later
(1b) Caregiver perceived stress: 6 items from the 12-item Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) will assess caregiver perceived stress (e.g., "Stressed between caring for your relative and trying to meet other responsibilities (work/family)?"). Caregivers self-report aspects of burden on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always; α= .86). Higher numbers indicate higher stress. Administration is 2.5 minutes.
Caregiver demand appraisals
时间窗: Baseline and one year
(1a) Caregiver demand appraisals: 6 items from the 12-item Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) will assess caregiver appraisals of demands (e.g., That because of the time you spend with your relative that you don't have enough time for yourself?". Caregivers self-report aspects of burden on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always; α= .86). Higher numbers indicate higher demands. Administration is 2.5 minutes
