| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop an Empowerment Scale for Home-Based Family Caregivers of People with Dementia in Japan for establishment of a respite care model for them. We identified components of empowerment among family caregivers of people with dementia through interviews and the result of concept analysis. The first version of the questionnaire had four subscales and a total of 36 items. Exploratory factor analysis identified the validity of the scale. The scale includes factors covering the main characteristics of family caregivers of people with dementia in Japan, and therefore enables a more accurate assessment of empowerment of family caregivers of people with dementia.
