Psychometric Examination of the Dutch Objective Burden Inventory in Heart Failure Caregivers.

CONCLUSIONS: Both the original 38-item DOBI and the reduced 24-item DOBI had support for their construct validity and internal consistency. The 24-item DOBI may be a useful alternative to the 38-item version, because it maintains psychometric properties of the original instrument while decreasing data collection burden. However, more research is needed to assess whether the shorter version is useful in assessing objective caregiving burden. PMID: 32976181 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
