Validation of wellbeing scales among informal caregivers of Latinos with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine the psychometric properties of several wellbeing scales among Latinos in the US, most of which have never been validated in a US-Latino population.

Design

We leveraged secondary baseline data from a one-arm mHealth trial on dementia caregiver support. We included 100 responses for caregiver-focused scales and 88 responses for care recipient-focused scales. Scales included the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire Severity and Distress scales, Six-item Zarit Burden Inventory, Ten-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale, Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease, and Single-item Satisfaction With Life Scale. We calculated concurrent validity using Pearson and Spearman correlations and expected correlation
