Abstract

The aim was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Gain in Alzheimer Care Instrument (GAIN), providing validity evidence based on its internal structure, reliability, item analysis, and relationships with other variables. A sample of 113 informal caregivers of people with dementia completed the GAIN, along with questionnaires assessing burden, general mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a single-factor structure with adequate fit indices. Reliability of GAIN scores was satisfactory, with McDonald's omega equal to .91. Items yielded adequate homogeneity indices. Validity evidence based on relationships with other variables was provided by positive correlations between GAIN scores and life satisfaction, and negative correlations with burden, general mental health problems, stress, anxiety, and depression. All these correlations were statistically significant, and most of them were of moderate magnitude. The Spanish version of the GAIN has a single-factor structure and satisfactory psychometric properties. It is quick and easy to apply and given the association between GAIN scores and other variables, it may be used to provide information about a caregiver's psychological health status.

西班牙语版阿尔茨海默病护理仪器的心理测量特性的新证据。
目的是分析西班牙语版阿尔茨海默病护理增益量表(Gain)的心理测量特性,根据其内部结构、信度、项目分析以及与其他变量的关系提供效度证据。113名痴呆症患者的非正式护理人员的样本完成了GAIN,以及评估负担、一般心理健康、压力、焦虑、抑郁和生活满意度的问卷。验证性因子分析显示单因素结构具有足够的拟合指标。GAIN评分的信度令人满意,麦当劳的ω等于0.91。项目产生足够的同质性指数。基于与其他变量关系的有效性证据显示,GAIN得分与生活满意度呈正相关,与负担、一般心理健康问题、压力、焦虑和抑郁呈负相关。所有这些相关性均具有统计学意义,且大多数为中等程度。西班牙语版的GAIN具有单因素结构和令人满意的心理测量特性。它是快速和容易应用,并考虑到增益分数和其他变量之间的关联,它可以用来提供有关护理者的心理健康状况的信息。
