Psychological Well-Being Scale
The validity and reliability study of the scale developed by Butler and Kern (2016) to assess individuals' levels of well-being was conducted by Demirci et al. (2017). The scale consists of 15 items, 8 dummy items, and 5 subscales. The scale's name is derived from the initial letters of the subscales in English.

Bakas Caregiving Impact Scale
The scale was developed by Bakas (1999), and its validity and reliability in Turkish were established by Can and Cavlak in 2010. The scale is a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. The scale consists of a total of 15 questions scored between +3 (best) and -3 (worst) and reflects both the positive and negative effects of care. A score ranging from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 105 is possible. As the scale score increases, it is interpreted as a "positive change"; as the score decreases, it is interpreted as a "negative change." The Cronbach's alpha value for the scale was found to be 0.90.
