“…The total score of the CBI ranges from 0 to 96, with higher scores indicating greater caregiver burden. Scores above 36 indicate a risk of burnout; scores close to or slightly above 24 indicate a need to seek some form of respite care [9]. A literature review indicates that the internal consistency of this instrument is between 0.92 and 0.94 [10].…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Family Inventory of Resources for Management (FIRM) in a sample of family caregivers of cancer patients. Methods. In this methodological study, construct validity of the FIRM was evaluated by known groups and convergent validity in a convenience sample of family caregivers of cancer patients (n = 104) referred to the outpatient oncology wards of five educational hospitals in Tehran from January to April 2016. Reliability was determined by assessing the internal consistency and stability of the instrument. Results. The known-groups findings showed that there is a significant difference between the scores of the FIRM in family caregivers with different levels of caregiver burden (p < 0.001). Also, the results of convergent validity showed that there is a moderate negative correlation (r = −0.50; p < 0.001) between the total scores of the FIRM and the scores of the caregiver burden inventory (CBI). The FIRM showed a good internal consistency (α = 0.85) and a good stability of the test-retest reliability result. Conclusions. There is a sound psychometric basis for the use of the Persian translation of the FIRM for family studies in the Iranian population.

“…En cuanto a los cuidadores familiares, se observa un perfil típico con predominancia femenina, edad media de 46,9 años, niveles intermedios de escolaridad, estrato socioeconómico entre 1 y 3, con mayor ocupación al hogar, en su mayoría únicos cuidadores, con una media de 137,1 meses de dedicación al cuidado. Lo anterior es relevante considerando que, el ser mujer, con una alta dedicación al cuidado, la falta de recursos económicos y la baja escolaridad son aspectos que se relacionan con la habilidad para cuidar y la sobrecarga del cuidador (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”
