Overall, the average CVI-total was 0.91, indicating that the assessed administrative and informal caregiver items and their scoring categories met the criteria of excellent content validity (>0.90) [ 17].
The rationale for the panel to develop eight new items was to capture additional functional symptoms (eg, safety and falling, items 14 17) related to dementia and items that capture the quality of life of the informal caregiver (items 28 31) that is impacted by dementia-related disability.
This observational coding system for mother-child interactions comprises 18 items; however, only five caregiver items (i.e., positive and negative control, positive and negative affect, responsiveness), five child items (positive and negative affect, responsiveness, independence, noncompliance) and three dyadic items (conflict, cooperation, reciprocity) were used.
Five items were scored correctly by ≥90% of caregivers; 6 items were correctly scored by ≥80% of caregivers.
The questionnaire has three dimensions: consequences for personal life of the caregiver (2 items), satisfaction with role of the caregiver themselves (2 items) and satisfaction with role of the person with dementia (3 items).
The SCQ records three domains: Consequences of involvement in care for the personal life of the caregiver (8 items), satisfaction with one's own performance as a caregiver (12 items) and satisfaction with the person with dementia as a recipient of care (7 items).
The three caregiver-oriented items address family confidence to care, family information and family worry.
The Mobility Questionnaire (MobQues) is a Dutch questionnaire that measures mobility limitations based on 47 caregiver-reported items.
Coded comments were subsequently grouped together to elicit the caregivers' feedback by item.
For each item, caregivers are asked to indicate how often they have felt that way.
