I would like to report the frailty scores of family caregivers of persons with dementia using a mail questionnaire. I am considering multiple questionnaires but wondering if the CFS has ever been used for self-report?
Thanks!
Frailty is characterized by increased vulnerability to external stressors. ... The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a practical and efficient tool for assessing frailty; however, its ability to predict outcomes has not been well studied within the acutemedical service.
If self reported CFS is not used, this will be your first study, do not worry. You can check its reliability as well as validity too.
The CFS can be extracted from data from medical charts, and therefore can also be derived from CGA, but it has not been used for self-report.
I will be using CFS to offer former care givers the opportunity to have a frailty assessment but not as a self-report-this will be piloted within a Community Hospital setting(Intermediate Care)
