| Annotation | A series of questions was devised which could be used as a screening instrument for detecting strain experienced by informal care providers (family, friends, neighbours). Results indicate that the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) is a brief, easily administered instrument which identified strain within the author's sample of informal care providers. Further development of the CSI is being undertaken for predicting specific caregiver populations at risk. This simple index might be usefully included in any interview or assessment package that examines intergenerational relations involving dependency and care. (RH). |
