Assessment of occupational balance, role performance, caregiving burden, and quality of life among carers or family members of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

is a tool designed to assess the level of perceived burden experienced by informal carers of dependent persons. It consists of 22 items that explore emotional, social and physical aspects related to caregiving, allowing the impact of the carer role on their quality of life to be identified. Each item is scored on a Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater burden.

It is an instrument based on the Human Occupation Model (HOM) designed to assess the occupational roles that a person performs throughout their life. It allows for the identification of current, past, and future roles, as well as the subjective value assigned to each one. This instrument is useful for understanding how occupational roles contribute to a sense of identity, the organisation of daily life and overall well-being, facilitating the planning of client-centred interventions.

It is a widely used tool for measuring health-related quality of life. It assesses eight dimensions: physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health. It is a generic instrument, applicable to diverse populations and useful in both research and practice, providing a broad profile of people's health status.

It is an assessment tool designed to measure occupational balance, understood as people's perception of the appropriate distribution of their time and energy in meaningful activities. This questionnaire explores aspects related to satisfaction and management of daily occupations, considering both the quantity and quality of the activities performed. It has proven useful in clinical and research contexts to identify occupational imbalances that can affect health and well-being. The original version was developed in Sweden and has been adapted to various languages and cultures, maintaining its validity and reliability.
