| - Depressive symptoms (Centre of Epidemiological Studies - Depression scale, CES-D, Bouma, Ranchor, Sanderman and van Sonderen 1995). This is a widely used measuring instrument in the Netherlands as well as abroad with twenty items for the existence and extent of depressive symptoms.. - Perceived stress. The Self-Perceived Pressure by Informal Care (SPPIC) questionnaire was especially developed to monitor the results of the care-provider*s appraisal of the care situation (Pot et al. 1995, 1998). It consists of nine items in a one-dimensional hierarchic scale varying from less to more pressure. In addition to this quantitative classification, a qualitative classification can also be observed in the items. The pressure first manifests itself in the care-providers* thoughts and then in their interaction with the environment as well. - Mastery (Pearlin Mastery Scale, Pearlin and Schooler 1978) This questionnaire consists of seven items about the extent to which people have their lives under control. - Affective relationship between the parent and child (Positive Affect Index, Bengtson and Mangen 1988). This questionnaire consists of ten items, five about the child*s feelings towards the parent and five about the parent*s feelings towards the child as perceived by the child. | — |
