Living with long-term conditions: validation of a new instrument for family caregivers in a Spanish-speaking population
The EC-PC-Fam scale from a family perspective is defined as a promising tool for promoting personalised care and for optimising the management of LTCs, and a new approach that includes family caregivers is proposed for clinical practice. The scale is an instrument with a moderate fit and optimum psychometric properties to measure living with LTCs from the perspective of a family caregiver. New validation studies are recommended to verify the fit of the proposed factorial solution.
