Psychometric evaluation of the Caregiver Self-Efficacy Scale with Korean Americans.
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a Korean version of the Caregiver Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE-K). The sample included 145 Korean American caregivers. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to examine the factor structure of the CSE-K. We tested convergent validity of the CSE-K by examining its relationships with caregiver depression and burden. Internal consistency reliability of the CSE-K was also tested. The initial model of CFA based upon the structure of the original CSE revealed the poor model fit; however, the revised model produced the excellent model fit. Convergent validity was established, and excellent internal consistency reliability was found in the CSE-K. The results of this study show that the CSE-K is a reliable and valid measurement to assess caregiver self-efficacy for Korean American caregivers.
