Purpose: The research was designed to help our understanding of the relationship between care-recipient health and caregiver well-being. Design: To achieve this goal, we followed the measurement development steps outlined by Hinkin. We began by identifying 18 care-recipient health conditions that encapsulated the breath of caregiver duties pertaining to specific recipient health conditions. Methods: Using a sample of n = 1696 employed caregivers, we then developed and empirically validated a research instrument that allows researchers and practitioners to (1) identify whether the caregiver was providing care to an individual who suffered from one or more of 18 health conditions and (2) quantify the demands imposed on the caregiver of caring for someone with this health issue. Results: Factor analysis identified four different constructs each of which measures the demands placed on the caregiver of caring for someone suffering from several closely related health conditions: problems with daily functioning, mental health problems, cardiovascular problems, and cancer/immune system issues
