“…They also showed that most caregivers are unlikely to experience positive and negative experiences at the same moment, but in many individual caregivers a shift in the direction of their feelings, reactions and consequences of caregiving occurred. Lawton et al (1989) reported that caregiver satisfaction was not strongly related to burden. However, as mentioned before, research concerning positive aspects of cancer caregiving is in its infancy.…”

“…Although most research has focused on negative experiences of giving care, more and more studies also report on the beneficial effects (Kinney and Stephens, 1989;Lawton et al, 1989;Motenko, 1989). There are several reasons to believe that experiences of caregiving can also be positive and that it might be worthwhile to investigate their effects on health.…”

“…A large number of family caregivers are helping relatives with medical and nursing tasks such as medication management, wound care, monitoring equipment (e.g., ventilators, feeding tubes, home dialysis units). Caregivers rarely receive adequate training to ensure they are able to (Lawton & Brody, 1969) and the Functional Independence Measure (Hamilton & Fuhrer, 1987 (Greene et al,1982) and the Caregiver Appraisal Questionnaire (Lawton et al, 1989). e.

II About Family Caregiver AllianceFamily Caregiver Alliance (FCA) was founded in 1977 to focus attention on and develop supports for family caregivers of adults with chronic care impairments and in particular, those adults with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic head injury. FCA's mission is to improve the quality of life for family caregivers through services, education, research and public policy.FCA is recognized as a pioneer for work in developing and delivering high quality caregiver support services and interventions, consumer information, training and capacity building, service and policy research and policy development and advocacy at the state and federal levels. In 2001, FCA established the National Center on Caregiving (NCC). The mission of the NCC is to advance the development of high-quality, costeffective policies and programs for caregivers in every state in the country. It serves as a central resource on caregiving and long-term care issues for policy makers, service providers, media and family caregivers throughout the country. About Benjamin Rose Institute on AgingBenjamin Rose Institute on Aging, established in 1908, is a non-profit organization with the mission to advance the health, independence, and dignity of older adults.The Margaret Blenkner Research Institute (MBRI) of Benjamin Rose is one of the oldest nonacademic research centers in the United States. Founded in 1961, the MBRI is internationally recognized for its applied gerontological research focusing on developing and evaluating evidence-based services and model interventions for older adults and their family members. MBRI staff publish widely and many of these articles and books have helped shape the growing body of knowledge in gerontology.

“…La plupart des premières recherches ont porté uniquement sur les aspects subjectifs et négatifs de l'aide. Dans un second temps, des auteurs ont proposé de tenir compte également des effets positifs [10,21,23,27,33,35]. Des entretiens, menés auprès de femmes âgées aidant à domicile leur époux souffrant de démence, ont montré que la perception d'une continuité dans la relation maritale entraîne un sentiment de gratification et de bien-être [33].…”

“…Par ailleurs, le soutien effectif d'un entourage familial élargi, la présence d'amis ou de confidents sont autant de sources de reconnaissance de l'aidant [9]. Á la suite de ces travaux, plusieurs notions ont été utilisées pour comprendre le vécu des aidants : la satisfaction de vie [36], les bénéfices [23], la satisfaction et le sentiment de maîtrise [27]. Toutefois, les instruments qui en découlent sont majoritairement destinés aux aidants de personnes âgées dépendantes [27,36] ou de patients avec une altération cognitive [23,33].…”

AbstractThe growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the greater reliance on outpatient care have shifted the demands from professional caregivers towards natural caregivers. Patients and their family members are based in their homes with complicated therapies to administer. Since a natural caregiver is a key to home care, if the burden becomes too great, the home care support may be threatened. Subjective burden aims to refer to the embarrassment or role overload that may be experienced when giving care at home. Caregivers can experience an alteration in their psychological and physical health due to the new situation. Health care professionals need to be aware of these problems, and they need instruments to assess the impact on the natural caregivers.There has been a growing interest on the part of researchers over the past thirty years in exploring and in developing methodologically sound instruments to measure the caregiving experience.Researchers and clinicians involved in these projects have come from a wide spectrum of medical and psychological domains, including psychiatry, gerontology, psycho-oncology, and somatic medicine. A number of instruments may be appropriate, but while many of these instruments have individual strengths and weaknesses two instruments deserve to be recommended. More specifically, one of these is Given and Given's Caregiver Reaction Assessment (CRA) which was correctly developed and tested, and contains the most areas of interest. The authors are experts in the field, and their instrument has been used satisfactorily by other researchers. The CRA was developed and tested in a study conducted among caregivers of patients with various disorders and this study revealed excellent psychometric properties. The original English version of the CRA Page 3 of 26 A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 3 was translated into French by six researchers. Each made his own translation. These translations were compared and a consensus was reached for each of the 24 items. A professional translator retranslated the French version into English and a discussion on minor differences led to the final version of the French CRA. The translated CRA is expected to have the same structure as that found for the original instrument or other translated forms (Nijboer et al., 1999). This article addresses the ...
