Sure. Take the Zarit Burden Scale (ZBI) as an example, despite ZBI was developed as a unidimensional measure of burden, two to four dimensions have been reported in the literature. As a latent construct, dimensions of ZBI include consequences of caregiving, patient’s dependence, exhaustion and uncertainty, guilt or self-criticism, embarrassment/ anger or frustration, psychological burden and emotional reactions, personal strain, and role strain.

I learned from the previous post that the Zarit Burden Scale is in fact a multidimensional scale. Typically, when do we use a multidimensional scale?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
