The Caregiver Role Strain Scale

The Caregiver Role Strain Scale is a tool used to measure how much stress or difficulty a person experiences while caring for someone else, such as a family member with health issues. It assesses different aspects of strain, including emotional, physical, and social challenges that caregivers may face. By understanding these stress levels, healthcare providers can better support caregivers, ensuring they receive the help they need to maintain their well-being while providing care. Essentially, it helps identify when caregiving is becoming overwhelming and needs additional resources or assistance.
