Translation and Testing of the Caregiving
Appraisal Scale in Japanese

NITTA Shizue

　　The purpose was to report on the Japanese translation and testing of the subscales of caregivers burden and satisfaction of the Caregiving Appraisal Scale （CAS）1）. The burden subscale and the satisfaction subscale derived from the CAS were translated to Japanese using back translation and examined the translated Japanese versions to a sample of 91 caregivers of impaired mobility due to stroke. The results revealed that the translated instrument with slight modifications met acceptable levels of reliability and validity. This translation facilitates the accurate evaluation of caregiver appraisal in diverse cultures with similar problems. Suggestions for future refinements are provided.

Keywords: caregiving, burden, satisfaction, translation, Japanese
