TI  - Burden and professional caregivers: tracking the impact.
PG  - 250-7
AB  - The objective of this study was to establish the validity and reliability of the 
      Professional Caregivers' Burden Index (PCBI), a new measure of burden for 
      professionals who work with patients with Alzheimer's disease. In phase 1, 
      content validity was examined; in phase 2, the 24-item instrument was 
      administered to professional caregivers on specialty dementia care units at a 
      long-term care facility in New England. In phase 3, mean staff PCBI scores were 
      found to increase significantly at 3 and 9 months following a reduction of 
      approximately 5% in staffing levels at a dementia care program. These initial 
      data on the PCBI suggest that it may be used as a valid and reliable measure of 
      burden among professional caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
