“…These two dimensions measure self-care requisites in different processes related to life, so that an alteration in one of these requisites does not necessarily imply an alteration in the other. Furthermore, the ICC shows that the scale presented a good stability test-retest and fell within the recommended range of 0.81-1.0 (Bakas, Champion, Perkins, Farran, & Williams, 2006). The main problem with evaluating test-retest is the choice of an appropriate time interval between the two assessments.…”

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new instrument in Spanish designed to measure self-care requisites in patients with schizophrenia treated in the community. DESIGN AND METHODS:The first phase was conducted to develop the questionnaire through a panel of experts and evaluate for content validity. Psychometric evaluation was then conducted with a consecutive sample of 341 patients. FINDINGS: The scale demonstrated good internal consistency and stability over time. The discriminant and convergent validity was satisfactory. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the theoretical model fits the self-care requisites proposed by Orem's nursing theory from which it originated. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This scale is a valid and reliable instrument for use in clinical practice, guiding the nurse in developing the most appropriate care plan for each patient.

Background: Few studies have assessed the longitudinal impact of providing unpaid care for stroke survivors. We aimed to describe the positive and negative impact of providing unpaid care and to identify independent predictors of poor carer outcome. Methods: The Auckland Regional Community Stroke study was a prospective population-based stroke incidence study conducted in Auckland, New Zealand, over a 12-month period in 2002–2003. Stroke survivors and their unpaid carers were assessed at 6 and 18 months after stroke onset using the Short Form 36 questionnaire and the Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale. Results: Data were available from 167 stroke survivor–carer pairs at 6 months and 62 pairs at 18 months. Unpaid carers reported lower health-related quality of life at 6 months after stroke than their age- and sex-matched counterparts in the New Zealand population. The impact of providing care was predominantly negative; however, approximately one third of the carers had improved relationships with the stroke survivor. No reliable predictors of carer burden were identified. Conclusions: This study re-emphasises the heavy burden of stroke on unpaid carers but was unable to identify factors that predicted carers at the greatest risk of experiencing a poor outcome. Effective strategies are needed to reduce the burden of providing unpaid care.

Psychometric Testing of the Revised 15-item Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale

Abstract: The revised 15-item BCOS has evidence of satisfactory reliability and validity in family caregivers of stroke survivors. The BCOS is a valuable measure in research and can be used to identify priority areas for nursing interventions designed to improve caregivers' outcomes.
