In\u2013depth analysis of this phenomenon and specific assessment tools for caregivers of patients diagnosed with Eating Disorders (EDs) are lacking.

Face and content validity were investigated by calculating standard Content Validity Indices (CVI-I and CVI-S) after administering the Inventory to 6 expert nurses with at least 5\u00a0years of experience in mental health services assisting people diagnosed with Eating Disorders. Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 coefficient for the overall scale and subscales. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to explore latent constructs. The adapted CBI was then administered to 62 informal caregivers of ED patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The EFA yielded a 5\u2013factor structure. The CVI-S was 97.2%; the Cronbach \u03b1 coefficient was 0,90 (&gt;\u20090.74 in each subscale). The median burden level in the experimental population was 40.0 [range\u2009=\u200921 to 54], in a theoretical range from 0 (no burden) to 96 (highest level of burden).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Caregiver Burden Inventory appears to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess caregiver burden in individuals diagnosed with Eating Disorders.
