Abstract

The contribution of caregivers to self-care for chronically ill patients is important for improving patient outcomes. The Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care Chronic Illness Inventory (CC-SC-CII) has been used to assess caregivers’ contributions to three distinct aspects of self-care (maintenance, monitoring, and management) globally. This study aimed to examine the psychometrics of the Korean version of the CC-SC-CII with 230 family caregivers (mean age = 49.8 years, 70% women) of patients with chronic illness. We demonstrated that the CC-SC-CII-Korean has good reliability with acceptable internal consistency and construct validity for all three factors using confirmatory factor analysis. The CC-SC-CII-Korean is a reliable and valid instrument to measure the contributions of Korean caregivers to the self-care of patients with chronic illnesses.
