Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Psychological Well-Being Scale | Day 0-Month 2 | The validity and reliability study of the scale developed by Butler and Kern (2016) to assess individuals' levels of well-being was conducted by Demirci et al. (2017). The scale consists of 15 items, 8 dummy items, and 5 subscales. The scale's name is derived from the initial letters of the subscales in English. |
| Bakas Caregiving Impact Scale | Day 0-Month 2 | The scale was developed by Bakas (1999), and its validity and reliability in Turkish were established by Can and Cavlak in 2010. The scale is a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. The scale consists of a total of 15 questions scored between +3 (best) and -3 (worst) and reflects both the positive and negative effects of care. A score ranging from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 105 is possible. As the scale score increases, it is interpreted as a "positive change"; as the score decreases, it is interpreted as a "negative change." The Cronbach's alpha value for the scale was found to be 0.90. |
