Statement of the Problem
Caregivers of chronically ill persons in Rwanda, Africa
are not able to have caregiver burden assessed
because a tool is not available in their local language.

Needs Assessment
Consequences of increased caregiver burden
Increased risk of hospitalization
More frequent emergency room visits

Background
Caregiver burden assessment tools
Burden Assessment Schedule
Modified Caregiver Strain Index
Zarit Burden Interview; most widely used
105 different scales used (Durme, Macq, Jeanmart & Gobert, 2012)
Chronically ill population in Rwanda:
HIV 45%
Cancer 28%
Other: heart disease, cirrhosis, renal failure, paraplegia
27% (Nyamwasa, 2009)

Zarit Burden Interview First published in 1980 (Zarit, Reever & Bach-Peterson)
with a 29 question version
22-question version is considered the standard (Zarit,
Orr, & Zarit, 1985)
There are also 12, 8 and 4 question versions.

Translation process
Translation of the ZBI into Kinyarwanda
Two independent translators
Afterwards > Version 1
Back translation: yields Version 2
Field Testing: yields Version 3
Proofreading: this yielded the final version
![Page 9: Assessment of Caregiver Burden in Rwanda, Africa · Purpose of research The purpose of this research was to adapt the Zarit Burden Interview so caregivers of chronically ill persons](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042804/5f5b48f644133d08451da3b1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Translation process Version 1
Much discussion about what to call the patient
Umurwayi = sick person
Translator 1; wrong word
Translator 2: best word
Back translator: umurwayi wawe = your sick person

Methods: Measurements &
Instruments
Data collection tool: demographic data
Activities of Daily Living (Katz)
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Lawton)
Zarit Burden Interview-Kinyarwanda (Version 2)
Cognitive debriefing tool
Single point measurements
![Page 13: Assessment of Caregiver Burden in Rwanda, Africa · Purpose of research The purpose of this research was to adapt the Zarit Burden Interview so caregivers of chronically ill persons](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042804/5f5b48f644133d08451da3b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Methods: Measurements &
Instruments
After demographic information, ADL, IADL and ZBI
were completed…
Subjects were asked to paraphrase each question of the
ZBI-Kinyarwanda
Subjects were asked to circle and words/phrases they did
not understand in the ZBI-Kinyarwanda
Subjects were asked to give alternative wording to the
words/phrases they did not understand
Minor adjustments to the ZBI-Kinyarwanda were made as
the study progressed from subject 1 to subject 30

![Page 21: Assessment of Caregiver Burden in Rwanda, Africa · Purpose of research The purpose of this research was to adapt the Zarit Burden Interview so caregivers of chronically ill persons](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042804/5f5b48f644133d08451da3b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ZBI-Kinyarwanda Multiple regression analysis
Caregiver age: older age = higher ZBI
Months of caregiving: fewer months = higher ZBI
Patient age: younger age = higher score of ZBI
Activities of daily living score (ADL);
low ADL score (more dependent)= higher ZBI
![Page 22: Assessment of Caregiver Burden in Rwanda, Africa · Purpose of research The purpose of this research was to adapt the Zarit Burden Interview so caregivers of chronically ill persons](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042804/5f5b48f644133d08451da3b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ZBI-Kinyarwanda Number of correctly paraphrased questions: 20-22
Question 8: “Do you feel your relative is dependent upon you?”
Question 8: Subjects answered “God”. Abeshejweho- used exclusively when talking about God. Word was changed to atunzwe- no religious connotation
Question 11 had one word changed
Only other changes: grammar
