Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Behavioral Management Skill (K-BMS) for family caregivers of people with Alzheimer¡¯s dementia (AD) and other types of dementia (non-AD).
Methods: 258 family caregivers of people with AD and 201 family caregivers of people with non-AD were included to examine the K-BMS¡¯s reliability and validity by psychometric tests. Item analysis, construct validity with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the known-groups method, concurrent validity test with correlations testing among a visual analogue scale (VAS), single general item (SGI), and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), and internal consistency reliability were conducted for the psychometric tests.
Results: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis yielded a two-factor model with 11 items. Results supported that the K-BMS was an appropriate model for both AD and non-AD groups with good convergent validity. Construct validity and reliability were established using the known-groups method and Cronbach¡¯s ?. The concurrent validity was established with a VAS (AD: r=.22, p<.001; non-AD: r=.27, p<.001), SGI (AD: r=.30, p<.001), and ZBI (AD: r=.36, p<.001; non-AD: r=.40, p<.001).
Conclusion: The K-BMS is a valid and reliable measurement to assess family caregivers¡¯ skills to manage behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia regardless of the type of dementia. Other scales to measure similar concepts must be developed further.
