Caregiver Strain Questionnaire Scoring Instructions
To calculate subscale scores, we recommend that no more than 15% of
items are missing for a given subscale. The global scale score should
not be calculated if one or more of the subscales are missing.
Subscale scores for the CGSQ are calculated as follows:
Objective strain - mean of items 1-11
Subjective externalized strain – mean 13, 14 (reverse coded), 15, 19
Subjective internalized strain - mean of items 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21
Global score – sum of the three subscale scores.
