This descriptive study investigates the validity and reliability of the home-based respite services tool (HBRST) which was developed to measure client satisfaction with home-based respite care (HBRC) and determine the degree to which caregivers were satisfied with the respite services they received in a newly-developed AmeriCorps home-based respite program. A convenience sample of 77 caregivers completed the HBRST. Reliability testing showed that the HBRST had high internal consistency (Chronbach's alpha = 0.82 and high stability (r = 0.92; p 0.001). Validity testing with a criterion measure also showed a significant positive correlation (r =.40, p < .01). Thus, the HBRST is a methodologically sound instrument that can be used to evaluate caregiver satisfaction with home-based respite services. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
