Design and psychometrics of the family caregivers burnout inventory of older adults with chronic disease.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Identifying the hidden and pervasive phenomenon of burnout among family caregivers of older adults with chronic disease requires the use of a valid and reliable tool tailored to the cultural structure of the target community. Therefore, the present study aimed to design and psychometrically evaluate the family caregivers burnout inventory (FCBI) of older adults with chronic disease. Methods: This research is a sequential exploratory mixed-methods study focused on instrument design, conducted in Iran in 2024. The study employed classical theory, involving three stages to create a valid instrument: item design using inductive (semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 13 caregivers) and deductive (literature review) methods, tool design, and tool evaluation using face validity, content validity, construct validity [exploratory factor analysis (EFA) ( Results: Based on qualitative findings, participant quotes, and item adoption from other studies, a pool of 228 items was designed using a 5-point Likert scale (always to never). After several stages of review by the research team, 102 items remained. Following face validity (2 items), content validity (46 items), and construct validity (23 items due to factor loadings less than 0.4 and cross-loadings), 71 items were eliminated, leaving 31 items. EFA results indicated that the family caregiver's burnout construct of older adults with chronic diseases comprises six factors include; "neurosis," "feeling victimized," "extreme fatigue and helplessness," "neglect or abuse of self and others," "adaptation deficiency" and "emotional separation" explaining 52.93% of the total variance. The fit indices showed acceptable model fit with the data. In this study, composite reliability and average variance extracted (AVE) for the six factors were greater than 0.7 and 0.5, respectively, and the (AVE) for each factor was higher than the composite reliability. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale was 0.975, and there was a significant correlation between test and retest scores ( Conclusion: FCBI demonstrates suitable validity and reliability and can be used in various settings by health service providers to identify symptoms of burnout in family caregivers.
