Evaluates burden as experienced by a group of American Indian primary family caregivers. Analysis of items composing the Caregiver Burden scale indicate that caregiver burden is multidimensional and consists of several types of burden. Finds that caregiver burden is composed of four dimensions: role conflict, negative feelings, lack of caregiver efficacy, and guilt. (Contains 49 references and 4 tables.) (GCP)
