Background and PurposeThe Preparedness for Caregiving Scale (PCS) is a widely used instrument to measure caregiver preparedness. The purpose was to evaluate the PCS in African American and White caregivers of patients with dementia upon discharge from the hospital.MethodsFactor structure, measurement invariance, and predictive validity of the PCS were assessed in a sample of 292 family caregivers/patient dyads.ResultsOne-factor structure of the PCS and measurement invariance by race was fully supported. Predicative validity revealed significant association between the PCS and anxiety (β = −.41, t = −7.61(287), p < .001), depression (β = −.44, t = −8.39(287), p < .001), and strain (β = −.48, t = −9.29(287), p < .001).ConclusionThe PCS is a valid and meaningful tool to measure preparedness in African American and White family caregivers of persons with dementia during post-hospitalization transition.

This chapter provides a guide to continued family problem solving. It begins with a review of skills learned earlier in treatment as well as progress with the initial family issues they have begun to address. It provides a strategy for picking the next family problem to target, with an emphasis on giving the family more independence during problem solving exercises. The chapter discusses the parents’ inadvertent potential to reinforce OCD behavior in their behaviors and in their speech. Parents who are particularly anxious may have difficulty managing their emotions in the moment, even though they understand the concept of modeling. The chapter provides strategies for helping these parents navigate OCD-related situations that may trigger their anxiety. Focus of the chapter continues to skills training in emotion regulation, including in-session practice exercises and discussion of the importance of modelling healthy responses to anxiety.
