方法：対象者は、第1群では51名（平均年齢63±11歳）、第2群では31名（平均年齢58±14歳）の家族介護者である。
結果：第1群におけるABC-16総計の平均点は14.98±7.52であった。第1群では高い妥当性（内的整合性、α=0.821) を示し、かつ4つの領域間に有意の相関が得られた(P<0.05)。重回帰分析によりABC-16と介護者のQOL (P=0.034) および夜間介護(P=0.001) とにおいて強い関連が見られた。第2群は第1群の結果とほぽ同様の結果が得られ、ABC-16の交差妥当性のあることが示唆された。
結論： ABC-16は高い妥当性を有する大変優れた介護負担評価尺度であることが示された。, Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the validation of a newly developed self-administered assessment of the burden on caregivers (ABC-16). 
Methods: The subjects were 51 family caregivers (mean age 63 ± 11 years) for the first trial and 31 family caregivers (mean age 58 ± 14 years) for the second trial. The ABC-16 consists of 16 items and is designed to cover 4 dimensions (the care receiver's burden, burden on social life, financial burden, and burden on health). 
Results: In the first trial, the mean and standard deviation of the total score of the ABC-16 was 14.98 ± 7.52. The first trial showed high reliability; the internal consistency was α=0.821 and significant correlations among the four dimensions were found (P<0.05). A multiple regression analysis showed strong correlations between the ABC-16 and the QOL of the caregivers (P=0.034), and the caregiving during the night (P=0.001). The second trial showed findings similar to those in the first trial, which suggested the good cross validation of the ABC-16. 
Conclusions: It is suggested that the ABC-16 is an excellent tool for assessing the care burden with high validity.},
