The caregiver well-being scale revisited

The Caregiver Well-Being Scale measures caregiver well-being from a strengths-based perspective by assessing caregivers' basic human needs and satisfaction with activities of daily living. This article revisits the scale to examine further the scale's psychometric properties using a caregiver-only sample. Reliability is determined through internal consistency. Construct validity is supported th rough factorial validity with factor analysis. Criterion-related validity is established by examining the concurrent validity of the Well-Being Scale with a measure of depression. Using a sample of family caregivers, results suggest that the Well-Being Scale is a valid and reliable measure.
