Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale(English)

• a reliable and valid 15-item questionnaire that measures life changes as a consequence of caregiving for a stroke survivor. The 15 items are scored on a 7-point scale, with responses ranging from changed for the worse (score, 1) to changed for the best (score, 7) as a consequence of caring for a stroke survivor. Scores are calculated by averaging across the 15 items, thus achieving an average score between 1 and 7, with lower scores indicating increased caregiver burden. Means rather than summed scores were used to preserve item interpretability, but can be multiplied by 15 to obtain the full 15 to 105 range
