- Caregiver strain was measured using the 13-item modified caregiver strain index. Every “yes” response was recorded as 1 and the sum of “yes” responses was scored. Scores of 7 and more on the scale indicated high level of strain. The mean MCSI-13 score was 7.48 (SD = 3.293, range 8–10). The majority of the caregivers reported a higher strain level with 64% scoring 7 and above on the scale. Table 2 above presents the frequencies of scores on the MCSI
