Assessment of the attitudes of family caregivers toward community services

C Collins, M Stommel, S King and CW Given
College of Nursing, Michigan State University, East Lansing.

Previous research has not taken into account the influence of attitudinal variables on the use of community services by dementia caregivers. The Community Service Attitude Inventory (CSAI) was developed to provide a measurement tool to further understanding of community service use by family caregivers. Testing of the CSAI revealed five distinct components of family attitudes toward use of community services.
