The Older Persons and Informal Caregivers Survey Minimum DataSet (TOPICS-MDS) is a public data repository which contains information on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of older persons and informal caregivers across the Netherlands. The database was developed in part to ensure uniform collection of outcomes measures, thus promoting comparability between studies. To date, 53 different research projects have contributed data to this initiative, resulting in a pooled dataset >44,000 older persons and >9,000 informal caregivers. Early 2021, the database will be updated with new data, specifically from older persons with dementia and their informal caregivers. More information can be found at https://topics-mds.eu This form contains the English and Dutch version of TOPICS-MDS 2017 questionnaire for the care receiver for the Baseline and Follow-up measurement. For follow-up, please note that for each follow-up measurement separately, all questions containing ‘12 months’ / ‘12 maanden’, the 12 needs to be replaced by the actual follow-up period. For example, when follow-up takes place after 3 months, the 12 is replaced by ‘3’. Additionally some questions are not needed for follow-up: From "Personal Information" only the marital status is needed. From "Health and Disease" the questions about the diseases are optional. They are recommended, if you want to use the frailty index. English Instructions for the participant (Dutch version below): Your experiences as a care receiver are valuable. You receive care. This list contains questions about what this care means for you as a care receiver. Your answers will be used in research to improve care for the elderly. The more information there is about care for elderly people, the more this can be taken into consideration. For example, when changing the facilities, regulations or legislation for care and wellbeing. Therefore, your experiences are also valuable for other elderly people. Instructions for this questionnaire: - Completing this questionnaire will take approximately half an hour. - Read each question through completely before selecting an answer. - If you find it difficult to understand or answer the questions, ask your partner, a family member or a friend to help you. - Some questions may appear to be ‘repeated’, but please answer all questions. They are intended to view your situation again from a different angle. - When you are done, please check that you have not forgotten any questions. Nederlandse aanwijzingen: Uw ervaringen als zorgvrager zijn waardevol. In deze lijst staan vragen over uw lichamelijke en geestelijke gezondheid, kwaliteit van leven en zorggebruik. Uw antwoorden worden gebruikt in onderzoek naar verbetering van de zorg voor ouderen. Want hoe meer er bekend is over wat ouderen zelf vinden, hoe beter er rekening mee gehouden kan worden. Bijvoorbeeld bij het veranderen van voorzieningen, regelingen of wetten voor zorg en welzijn. Uw ervaringen zijn dus waardevol, ook voor andere ouderen. Aanwijzingen bij deze vragenlijst: Het invullen van de vragenlijst kost u ongeveer een half uur. Lees elke vraag eerst helemaal door voordat u een antwoord geeft. Als u het moeilijk vindt om de vragen te begrijpen of in te vullen, vraag dan hulp aan uw partner, een familielid of vriendof vriendin. Sommige vragen lijken ‘dubbel’, maar we verzoeken u ze toch in te vullen. Ze zijn bedoeld om uw situatie nog eens van een andere kant te bekijken. Bent u klaar? Kijk dan of u geen vragen vergeten bent.

Evaluation & the Health Professions 16 (2), 204–211. Primary use / Purpose: To assess perceived burden among people caring for others with disabilities. Background: This caregiver burden scale was developed to assess perceived burden among caregivers of family members with dementia. While everyone who is a caregiver will assist with tasks for their family member with dementia, our previous research found that burden was more than just the number or type of tasks for which the patient required assistance. By obtaining a measure of the caregivers' perceived burden associated with each of 15 possible tasks, we were able to narrow down the source of stress in a way that could lead to effective interventions. Psychometrics: Internal consistency of the scale: 0.87 Correlation with depressive symptoms (CES-D): 0.38 (p<0.001). Scoring Three domains are measured from this scale. The first one, defined as patient needs, is a sum of the 15 items providing a range of 0-15. The second one, defined as caregiver tasks, is the sum of the tasks for which the caregiver provided assistance. The range could be 0-15, but cannot be higher than the sum of the patient needs. The third domain, caregiver burden, is a sum of the items for which the patient needed assistance AND the caregiver provided assistance AND the caregiver reported that providing this assistance was stressful. The possible range was 0-15 but could not be higher than the number of caregiver tasks. Digital Object Identifier (DOI): http://dx.doi.org/10.13072/midss.389
