Burden Scale for Family Caregivers

The Burden Scale for Family Caregivers is a tool used to assess the impact of caregiving on family members who support loved ones with chronic illnesses or disabilities. It measures emotional, physical, and financial stress caregivers may experience. By evaluating various aspects of caregiving, such as feelings of isolation, health changes, and time constraints, the scale helps identify those who may need additional support or resources. Understanding these burdens is crucial for improving caregivers' well-being and ensuring they can continue to provide care without compromising their own health.
