Aims: To develpo the Thai version of Schizophrenic caregiver quality of life (S-CGQoL-Thai) scale and to test psychometric properties of this instrument including validity and reliability.

Methods: This studty was instrument development design and use back translation technique. Item relevance was assessed by five exiperts and measured using content validity index (CVI). The pre-testing of internal consistency was conducted by a convenience sampling of 30 schizophrenic caregivers. The main study was cobducted to test psychometric properties of the S-CGQoL-Thai by using 297 of Schizophrenic Caregiver. Test adequate if sample size by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and test an adequacy of item correlation matrix by Bartlett test of sphericity. Exploratory factor analysiswas used to determine the factors of scale.

Results: The S-CGQoL-Thai version consesting of 22 items showed CVI=1.00, convergence validity indicate correllation between S-CGQoL-Thai Scale and WHOQOL-BREF-THAI. Good condtruct validity was analyzed with Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin=0.83, Bartlett's test of sphericity X2=4353.15, df=231, p<0.001. High internal consistency reliability with =0.86, high correlation of test re-test with Pearson correlation =0.80, p<0.01 (two-tailed significance) and corrected item-total correlation total variance corcred 70.09%

Conclusion: The S-CGQoL-Thai version scale has potential benefits for psychiatric and mental health care team to assess quality of life of schizophrenic caregiver for both research and clinical purposes.
