  2. Positive aspects of caregiving scale of 9 items (range 5 to 45). Higher scores indicate greater perceived PAC
  3. Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire of 10 items (range 0 from 10). Higher scores indicate worse mental status
  4. Barthel Index. Values range from 0 (completely dependent) to 100 (completely Independent)
  5. Goldberg depression of 9 items (range from 0 to 9). Values ≥2 have 50% chance of having clinically important disturbance. Goldberg Anxiety of 9 items (range from 0 to 9). Values ≥5 have 50% chance of having clinically important disturbance
  6. Zarit Burden Scale of 9 items. Values range from 5 to 45. Higher scores indicate more burden
