“…16,22 New TBI caregiver-specific item banks were administered using computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and short forms. These items included Feeling Trapped 24 (restricted by caregiving duties), Feelings of Grief/Loss 25 (loss related to the caregiver themselves, as well as the person with TBI), Caregiver-Specific Anxiety 26 (anxiety related to the caregiver role including re-injury concerns, worry about leaving the person alone), and Caregiver Strain 27 (burden, stress, feeling overwhelmed). Only responses from the short form versions were used in this study.…”
