TI  - Validation of the Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist-1990R for use in 
      acquired brain injury.
PG  - 817-24
AB  - OBJECTIVE: The Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist-1990R (MBPC-1990R) is a 
      carer-rated measure of (a) problem behaviours and (b) corresponding carer 
      reaction. Although originally developed and validated for dementia, its items are 
      relevant to acquired brain injury (ABI). This study evaluated its validity in 
      this population. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: In a national postal 
      survey carried out to inform service planning, 222 family carers of adults with 
      TBI (49%), strokes (26%), infections (18%), other (7%) completed the MBPC-1990R, 
      Head Injury Behaviour Scale (HIBS), Barthel Index (BI), Northwick Park Dependency 
      Score (NPDS), Carer Burden Interview (CBI), WHOQOL-BREF and GHQ-28. RESULTS: 
      MBPC-1990R problems correlated well with HIBS problems (r = 0.70), as did 
      MBPC-1990R carer reaction with HIBS distress (r = 0.78) and CBI (r = 0.73) 
      scores, indicating good convergent validity. Discriminant validity was inferred 
      from absent/weak correlations between MBPC-1990R problems and both BI (r = -0.02) 
      and NPDS (r = 0.24); likewise between MBPC-1990R carer reaction and WHOQOL-BREF 
      physical, psychological, social, environmental sub-scales (r = -0.32 to -0.41) 
      and GHQ-28 scores (r = 0.35). Factor analysis revealed excessive, cognitive, 
      aggressive and passive/low mood sub-scales, which showed good internal 
      consistency and varied across ABI groups. CONCLUSIONS: The MBPC-1990R is 
      supported as a measure of problem behaviours and carer reaction in ABI. Further 
      validation in ABI groups is recommended.
