THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE CARER’S ASSESSMENT OF SATISFACTION INDEX (CASI-TR): ITS VALIDATION AND RELIABILITY
Öz
Purpose: Caregivers of patients with chronic diseases could experience positive as well as negative feelings as a result of caregiving. Although there are assessment tools in the literature that are used to measure the satisfaction received from caregiving, which is one of the positive feelings experienced by caregivers, there was no tool that assessed caregiver satisfaction in Turkey. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Carer’s Assessment of Satisfaction Index (CASI).
Methods: The sample included 300 caregivers. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the CASI. The Cronbach's alpha value was calculated and a corrected item-total correlation and a test-retest reliability analysis were performed for reliability. Descriptive factor analyses were used to evaluate the construct validity. The forward and back-translation method was used for the linguistic validity. The retest was performed with 60 caregiving individuals.
Results: The caregivers’ mean age was 49.23±13.71 years, and 76.7% were females. Their duration of caregiving was 51.99±6.33 months. The Cronbach’s alpha value calculated for the CASI was 0.949. Factor analysis revealed that three factors accounted for 57.67% of the total variance, with an Eigenvalue above 1.
Conclusion: The Turkish version of CASI is found to be reliable and valid for assessing caregiver satisfaction. We find the CASI to be a useful tool that could be utilized readily by all healthcare personnel to assess caregiver satisfaction.
