Establishing Predictive Criterion Validity of the Parkinson's Disease Caregiver Strain Risk Screen-10
1Viterbo University School of Nursing La Crosse, WI.
Background And Purpose:
Studies reveal that caring for persons with Parkinson's disease affects informal caregivers psychologically and physically, yielding negative impacts on caregiving abilities. The purpose was to establish predictive criterion validity of the Caregiver Strain Risk Screen-10 (CSRS-10), a tool designed to monitor risk for strain in informal caregivers of persons with Parkinson's disease.
Methods:
Caregivers (N = 137) of persons with Parkinson's disease completed surveys that included CSRS-10 and Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness, to measure strain risk and frequency of physical health symptoms, respectively.
Results:
Hierarchical regression indicated that higher CSRS-10 scores were predictive of greater frequency of physical health symptoms in caregivers.
Conclusions:
The study established predictive criterion validity of CSRS-10, further demonstrating it as an effective evidence-based tool for assessing risk for strain in this informal caregiver population.
