The CBQ-HF (v3.0) is a comprehensive and relevant measure of subjective caregiver burden with strong face and content validity for use in heart failure.
Humphrey et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart Failure (Caregiver Burden) (n=18). Caregiver Burden Questionnaire for Heart Failure (CBQ-HF) was evaluated on Face and content validity (understanding, interpretation, and relevance of items).
