TI  - Italian revised memory and behavior problems checklist (It-RMBPC): validation and 
      psychometric properties in Alzheimer's disease caregivers.

AB  - Behavioral and psychiatric symptoms (BPSD), common in persons with Alzheimer's 
      disease (AD), are known to be associated with caregiver burdening. Therefore, 
      early recognition of BPSD is necessary to protect these caregivers. The aim of 
      this validation study was to test the internal consistency, test-retest 
      reliability and concurrent validity of an Italian translation of the revised 
      memory and behavior problems checklist (RMBPC), as it demonstrated high 
      plasticity in timely measuring the day-to-day BPSD changes that challenge 
      caregivers. A cohort of 355 dyads composed of AD subjects and their principal 
      caregivers were assessed with the Italian version of RMPBC capitalizing on the 
      information provided by the latter ones. The results were compared with the ones 
      from other predictors (i.e., the Zarit Burben Interview, the Hospital Anxiety and 
      Depression Scale, the EurQuality of Life, the neuropsychiatric symptoms). The 
      validity and stability of the It-RMBPC resulted being solid and concurrent 
      reliability resulted having higher correlations with principal caregiver anxiety 
      level. Future studies on the role of BPSD in fostering anxiety in AD principal 
      caregivers are merited.
