Abstract
Objective:
to analyze the psychometric properties of the adapted version of Bakas
Caregiving Outcome Scale for Brazilian Portuguese.
Method:
this is a cross-sectional methodological study conducted with 151 informal
caregivers of people with cerebral vascular accident sequelae enrolled in
Family Health Units. To assess reliability, Cronbach’s alpha was used.
Construct validity was verified through exploratory factor analysis,
confirmatory factor analysis and correlation with measures of instruments
that evaluate correlated constructs.
Results:
Cronbach’s alpha for the total BCOS score was 0.89. Factor and exploratory
analysis generated a one-factor structure, which was confirmed by
confirmatory factor analysis. Construct validity was supported by the high
positive correlations with Negative Affect (r = 0.51) and Negative
Experience (r = 0.47) of the Well-being Scale and the Depression Anxiety and
Stress Scale -21 (r = 0.53) and negative correlations with Positive Affect
(r =-0.47) and Positive Experience (r = -0.17) of the Well-being scale.
Conclusion:
Bakas Caregiving Outcome Scale shows evidence of satisfactory reliability and
validity in family caregivers of cerebral vascular accident survivors.
