Caregiving Hassles Scale: assessing the daily hassles of caring for a family member with dementia.
Examined was a scale designed to assess the daily hassles of caring for a family member with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Primary caregivers to AD patients (N = 60) completed the Caregiving Hassles Scale on two occasions and reported on their well-being. The 42-item scale provides a reliable and psychometrically sound instrument for assessing hassles associated with assistance in basic ADL, assistance in instrumental ADL, care-recipients' cognitive status, care-recipients' behavior, and caregivers' social network.
