Two weeks later, another survey 30 of the 175 participants with the CTI-RC were carried out for retesting. After that, item analysis, content validity analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for the CTI-RC were implemented.Results:The CTI-RC included five common factors: learning to cope with new role, providing care according to care-receiver′s needs, managing own emotional needs, appraising supportive resources, balancing caregiving needs and own needs, covering 25 items. The reliability analysis showed that Cronbach α of the CTI-RC and its 5 factors of learning to cope with new role, providing care according to care-receiver′s needs, managing own emotional needs, appraising supportive resources, balancing caregiving needs and own needs was 0.850, 0.871, 0.887, 0.817, 0.851, 0.841, respectively.
