Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder without a cure that can last anywhere from 3-20 years. Well established literature demonstrates the adverse effects of dementia care on family members including impaired physical health and immune system response, financial strain, and increased prevalence of depression and anxiety. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a new measure to capture key indicators of caregiver well-being. Methods: A scale to measure the intensity of elements (depression, frustration, burden) thought to be part of Caregiver Syndrome was developed and evaluated using Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health (REACH II) baseline data set. Analysis: Construct items (depression, frustration, burden) were analyzed using a two-step approach, which included exploratory factor analysis and reliability assessment Once a reliable scale was confirmed, relationships between the scale (as well as the factors of burden, depression, and frustration),the demographic variables and other variables of interest were assessed using cross tabulation chi square tests, correlations, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Multivariate ANOVA, and multiple regression. Results: The final model was statistically significant (chi2 (11) = 200.09, p < .001) with a pseudo R-square of .295. Controlling for the effects of income, education and race, once again Burden-CR considered a burden was a significant predictor of Caregiver Health (B = -.042, p = .001). This implies that considering CR more of a burden decreased the odds of caregiver's better perceived health. Depression-depression symptoms was also a significant predictor in this model (B = -.108, p < .001), implying that as caregiver's displayed depression symptoms a negative effect was observed on their perception of their own health. Finally, frustration-verbal show of frustration was also a significant predictor of Caregiver Health (B = .105, p = .014), indicating that more verbal show of frustration resulted in an increase in the odds of better perceived health. Discussion: Study findings indicate the CGS has potential to identify and treat caregivers who score as high risk for the elements associated with Caregiver Syndrome.
