“…The screening version of the Zarit Burden Interview contains 4 items that rate the impact of the disease or the head injury on the caregiver’s physical, emotional or social status and constitutes a valid and reliable scale to assess the subjective burden perceived by caregivers [24]. Item scores range from 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always) and the total score ranges from 0 to 16, with a higher score indicating a greater burden.…”

Background: Impulsivity is a core feature in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of the study is to investigate how a specific dimension of impulsivity, namely urgency (the tendency to act rashly when distressed), might shed new light on the aetiology of compulsive buying proneness in patients with TBI and to explore how urgency and compulsive buying relate to the burden perceived by the caregivers. Sampling and Methods: Caregivers of 74 patients with TBI were given 3 questionnaires in order to assess their subjective burden as well as patients’ impulsivity and compulsive buying proneness. Results: Both urgency and compulsive buying tendencies significantly increased after TBI. Furthermore, path analyses revealed that current urgency was both directly and indirectly related to the subjective burden perceived by the caregivers, and this indirect pathway was mediated by compulsive buying. Conclusion: Urgency plays a central role in understanding specific problematic behaviours after TBI and their impact on caregivers. These findings are discussed in light of the cognitive processes underlying the urgency component of impulsivity in relation to the occurrence of compulsive buying behaviours after TBI.

“…At baseline, her depression scores were within normal limits [23], but burden scores were on the moderately high side at 19 [21, 22]. The caregiver rated the care recipient’s overall quality of life as “good” but relational and financial concerns were noted.…”

“…They were offered the opportunity to contact each other after study completion. Burden and depression were measured with classic measures (the 4-item Zarit Burden Interview [21], the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist [22] and the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale [23]) prior to, during and after the intervention.…”

Aims: We explored the relationship between objective and subjective measures of burden prior to and after a telehealth-based caregiver intervention. One caregiver participated in two studies, one to assess the feasibility of objective, home-based monitoring (EVALUATE-AD), the second to assess the feasibility of a caregiver education telehealth-based intervention, Tele-STAR. Methods: Subjective measures of burden and depression in Tele-STAR and objective measures related to daily activities of the caregiver in EVALUATE-AD were compared to examine trends between the different outcome measures. Results: While the caregiver reported an increase in distressing behaviors by her partner, burden levels did not significantly change during or after the Tele-STAR intervention, while objective measures of activity and sleep showed a slight decline. Conclusion: Unobtrusive home-based monitoring may provide a novel, objective method to assess the effectiveness of caregiver intervention programs.

“…17 These tools are not in common use in primary medical practice but are regularly used in research settings. However, a recent review of six short form versions of the ZBI suggests that although the ZBI-12 is suitable for all caregiving populations, 18 asking the single question (item 22 on the ZBI)-"Overall how burdened do you feel? "-is useful for quick assessment.…”

The Zarit Burden Interview

Abstract: The short and screening versions of the ZBI produced results comparable to those of the full version. Reducing the number of items did not affect the properties of the ZBI, and it may lead to easier administration of the instrument.
