Validating the CUIDARE Scale in Measuring the Impact on Patients and the Adaptation Process of their Family Caregivers.
Abstract Background: The family caregiving process requires adaptation and be evaluated to ensure a correct approach in supporting patients and their caregivers. The objective of the present study is to design and validate an instrument to determine the family caregivers’ adaptation to the caregiving process in relation to the care dependency of hospitalized patients. This paper presents CUIDARE, a validated scale based on the Nursing Outcomes Classification indicators and the Roy Adaptation Model, that evaluates the adaptation process of caregivers in hospital settings and its impact on hospitalized patients. Methods: A cross-sectional and psychometric validation study was carried out in ten public hospitals in the Andalusian Healthcare System. Data collection was undertaken between May 2016 and February 2017 in medical and surgical units, included 432 family caregivers. Results: The CUIDARE scale was shown to be internally consistent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.818). The Exploratory Factor Analysis grouped 4 items into a single component with a variance-explanatory power of 65.6%. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis tested the unidimensionality of the scale with good fit model (CMIN/DF = 2.152; AGFI = 0.975; NFI = 0.993; CFI = 0.996; RFI = 0.979; RMSEA = 0.052). Conclusions: There is an association between the patients’ care dependency level and the family caregiver’s adaptation to caregiving (p-value <.001). Nursing professionals are encouraged to apply this instrument for the purpose of screening to facilitate the adaptation process of family caregivers and to improve the quality of care..
