Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Caregiver Reaction Assessment, as part of a psychosocial study among family caregivers of cancer patients. Methods: Participants were derived from the Second Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, China.

The Chinese version of the Caregiver Reaction Assessment showed adequate internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability and appropriate construct validity. After adjusting items 4, 8, 15 and 18, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the five new factors of the Chinese version of the Caregiver Reaction Assessment had goodness of fit. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the Chinese version of the Caregiver Reaction Assessment is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring specific aspects of the caregiving experience in the Chinese population.
