结局指标
主要结局
Perceived Stress Level
时间窗: Two months
Perceived Stress Scale: It was developed to measure the stress level of specific situations in individuals' lives. This scale consists of 14 items and is evaluated by participants on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from "never (0)" to "very often (4)". The score range of the scale is 0-56. High scores obtained from the scale indicate that the individual's perceived stress level is high.
Psychological Well-being Level
时间窗: Two months
Psychological Well-being Scale: It is a scale that evaluates the psychological well-being of an individual. The items of the scale are rated between 1 and 7 as strongly disagree (1) and strongly agree (7). The minimum score is 8 and the maximum score is 56. An increase in the score value indicates that the person has many psychological resources and strengths.
The Burden of Caregiving
时间窗: Two months
Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale: The scale is used to measure the stress of caregivers. It contains 22 Likert-type statements. The statements range from zero to four as never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), quite often (3), almost always (4). A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 88 points can be obtained from the scale. As the score value increases, the stress experienced by the caregiver also increases.
