The sense of competence is a key factor in the success of care for people with dementia. In order to act with effective interventions, efficient measures are needed. The Short Sense of Competence Questionnaire is a suitable but little studied tool in the Italian context. After having translated and administered it locally, the questionnaire was studied along with scales to measure fatigue, distress, psycho-physical health, mood and self-efficacy of caregivers, and neuropsychiatric disorders of people with dementia. The analyses confirmed the original characteristics of the questionnaire and highlighted the reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity. The performed translation is reliable and suitable for the contexts of prevention and intervention with the caregivers of people with dementia.

Il senso di competenza è un fattore determinante per la buona riuscita delle cure alle persone con demenza. Per poter agire con interventi efficaci occorrono misure efficienti. Il Short Sense of Competence Questionnaire è uno strumento adatto ma poco studiato nel contesto italiano. Dopo averlo tradotto e somministrato localmente, il questionario è studiato assieme a scale per misurare l’affaticamento, il distress, la salute psico-fisica, lo stato dell’umore e l’auto-efficacia dei caregiver, ed i disturbi neuropsichiatrici delle persone con demenza. Le analisi hanno confermato i caratteri originari del questionario ed evidenziato l’affidabilità, la consistenza interna e la validità concorrente. La traduzione effettuata risulta affidabile e adatta ai contesti di prevenzione e intervento con i caregiver delle persone con demenza.

Abstract

The sense of competence is a key factor in the success of care for people with dementia. In order to act with effective interventions, efficient measures are needed. The Short Sense of Competence Questionnaire is a suitable but little studied tool in the Italian context. After having translated and administered it locally, the questionnaire was studied along with scales to measure fatigue, distress, psycho-physical health, mood and self-efficacy of caregivers, and neuropsychiatric disorders of people with dementia. The analyses confirmed the original characteristics of the questionnaire and highlighted the reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity. The performed translation is reliable and suitable for the contexts of prevention and intervention with the caregivers of people with dementia.
