Understanding family functioning is imperative.

A total of 125 family caregivers who were caring for older family members completed face-to-face interviews. A five-items of the family APGAR were translated, validated, and tested its reliability using standardized methods. The correlation matrix was performed to identify item correlations prior to the validation process.
