Abstract

Assessing the burden linked to caring for the frail elderly is becoming an important issue in rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to translate/validate the Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale into French for use in Canada. This easy-to-use questionnaire evaluates aspects of burden such as objective, subjective stress and subjective demand burden. The instrument underwent: 1) parallel translation/back-translation; 2) expert's committee review leading to an experimental version; 3) pre-test to ensure wording clarity; and 4) study of psychometric properties with bilingual subjects (n = 27) and French-speaking subjects (n = 18). Results suggest that convergence between the original and the French versions is satisfactory for two of the three sub-scales of the MBCBS (ICC 0.83 et 0.96). The test-retest stability coefficients are also very good (ICC of 0.92 et 0.91), as is internal consistency (0.90, 0.66). The objective burden sub-scale correlates moderately with a measure of functional autonomy (SMAF). Results for the subjective burden scale linked to demand are, however, inadequate. All in all, two of the three sub-scales of the French-Canadian version of the Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale demonstrate adequate psychometric properties, thereby favouring its use in geriatric rehabilitation.

Résumé

Évaluer le fardeau des proches-aidants est primordial en réadaptation gériatrique afin d’établir un plan d’intervention tenant compte de la dyade aîné-aidant. Le but de cette recherche est de développer une version canadienne-française du Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale, en suivant les étapes suivantes: 1) traductions/traductions renversées parallèles; 2) production d’une version expérimentale en comité d’experts; 3) pré-test; 4) étude des valeurs psychométriques auprès de sujets bilingues (n = 27) et francophones (n = 18). Les résultats suggèrent une convergence élevée de la version canadienne-française avec la version originale (CCI 0,83 et0,96) pour les sous-échelles fardeau objectif et fardeau subjectif relié au stress. Pour celles-ci, les coefficients de fidélité test-retest de la nouvelle version sont très bons (CCI de0,92 et de0,91) de même que la cohérence interne (0,90, et0,66). La sous-échelle fardeau objectif est modérément corrélée avec une mesure d’indépendance fonctionnelle (SMAF). Les résultats pour la sous-échelle du fardeau objectif relié à la demande sont insatisfaisants. Deux des trois sous-échelles de la version canadienne-française du Montgomery Borgatta Caregiver Burden Scale présentent des qualités psychométriques favorisant leur utilisation en réadaptation gériatrique.
