The caregiver\u2019s desire to institutionalize has been suggested as the most important predictor of actual institutionalization. This cross-sectional study aimed to culturally adapt the Desire to Institutionalize Scale (DIS) to a country with a high prevalence of dementia (Portugal) and examine its psychometric properties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The reliability, structural validity, and criterion validity of the DIS-PT were assessed by applying the scale using a remote measurement web platform. A sample of 105 dementia caregivers completed the DIS-PT and several psychosocial measures, including caregiver burden, anxiety, depression, quality of life, PwD functional independence, and neuropsychiatric symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The DIS-PT demonstrated good structural validity, with one factor explaining 75% of the total variance. The internal consistency of the scale was high (<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.802). Most caregivers (65.7%) endorsed at least one item on the DIS-PT (Mdn 2). The caregiver\u2019s desire to institutionalize was significantly associated with the caregiver, care recipient, and contextual variables previously known to affect institutional placement. These included the caregivers\u2019 occupational status, perceived burden, anxiety (but not depression), physical and psychological quality of life, care recipient education, severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms, and cohabitation with the caregiver.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study offers preliminary support for the psychometric quality of the DIS-PT. The scale has practical applications in the early identification of caregivers considering nursing home placement, providing room for intervention in modifiable risk factors that may otherwise lead to the institutionalization of PwD. Remote measurement tools may hold value in assessing caregiving dyads non-intrusively and inexpensively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1277565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T06:08:36Z","timestamp":1704694116000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Willingness to institutionalize a relative with dementia: a web-platform assessment with the Portuguese adapted version of the Desire-to-Institutionalize Scale"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Soraia","family":"Teles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Milaydis Sosa","family":"Napolskij","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Freitas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Constan\u00e7a","family":"Pa\u00fal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Global estimates of informal care","author":"Wimo","year":"2018"},{"key":"ref2","volume-title":"Fact sheets of dementia","year":"2021"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2318-10-53","article-title":"The contribution of chronic diseases to the prevalence of dependence among older people in Latin America, China and India: a 10\/66 dementia research group population-based survey","volume":"10","author":"Sousa","year":"2010","journal-title":"BMC Geriatr"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.1159\/000144027","article-title":"Prediction of institutionalisation in dementia","volume":"26","author":"Luppa","year":"2008","journal-title":"Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-020-1452-0","article-title":"Does the institutionalization influence elderly\u2019s quality of life?
