Abstract

An existing scale of personal growth in caregivers of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) was expanded for use with an acquired brain injury (ABI) population, and was modified following additional psychometric analyses. A cross-sectional online survey was administered to 315 caregiving partners of persons with MS and 310 family caregivers of persons with ABI. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed on the original 32-item instrument yielded a 4-component, 17-item solution with correlated subscales with solid psychometric properties. Subscales were labelled Appreciation, Positivity, Adjustment, and Spirituality. Secondary PCA conducted revealed three subscales (five items each) correlated moderately while the fourth, Spirituality, remained distinct. The sum of the three five-item subscales may serve as a total score. Reliability analysis yielded acceptable-to-high internal consistency. Comparisons of the PGS with existing instruments demonstrated its discriminant/convergent validity. Two kinds of latent class analyses were conducted on the 15-item PGS to identify three latent classes that spanned the neurologic groups, revealing that measurement invariance was held for the instrument in this sample. An instrument with sound psychometric properties was established, designed to assess personal growth in caregivers of individuals with ABI or MS. Future work should explore its value in other populations and as a metric of changes over time.

脑损伤或多发性硬化症患者护理人员的个人成长。
我们对现有的多发性硬化症(MS)患者护理人员个人成长量表进行了扩展,以用于后天性脑损伤(ABI)人群,并在进行了额外的心理测量分析后对该量表进行了修改。我们对 315 名多发性硬化症患者的护理伙伴和 310 名后天性脑损伤患者的家庭护理人员进行了横向在线调查。对最初的 32 个项目的问卷进行了主成分分析 (PCA),得出了 4 个成分、17 个项目的解决方案,其中的相关子量表具有可靠的心理测量特性。子量表分别为 "欣赏"、"积极"、"适应 "和 "灵性"。二次 PCA 显示,三个分量表(每个分量表有五个项目)具有适度的相关性,而第四个分量表(灵性)则保持了独特性。三个五项子量表的总和可作为总分。信度分析表明,内部一致性可以接受,甚至很高。将 PGS 与现有工具进行比较,证明其具有判别/收敛有效性。我们对 15 个项目的 PGS 进行了两种潜类分析,以确定跨越神经症组的三个潜类,结果表明该工具在该样本中具有测量不变性。该工具具有良好的心理测量学特性,旨在评估患有缺血性脑损伤或多发性硬化症患者的照顾者的个人成长。未来的工作应探索该工具在其他人群中的价值,并将其作为衡量随时间推移而发生的变化的指标。

期刊介绍: Neuropsychological Rehabilitation publishes human experimental and clinical research related to rehabilitation, recovery of function, and brain plasticity. The journal is aimed at clinicians who wish to inform their practice in the light of the latest scientific research; at researchers in neurorehabilitation; and finally at researchers in cognitive neuroscience and related fields interested in the mechanisms of recovery and rehabilitation. Papers on neuropsychological assessment will be considered, and special topic reviews (2500-5000 words) addressing specific key questions in rehabilitation, recovery and brain plasticity will also be welcomed. The latter will enter a fast-track refereeing process.
