Description
Chunyan Zhang and co-authors test a Chinese form of a scale on feeling like a burden, in a research paper from 2025. Many older adults in China feel they weigh on others, which can harm health and mood. No scale made for this group in China was ready for wide use.
The team translated the scale with a back-and-forth method and gave it to five hundred older adults. They checked the form with factor tests and with checks of score steadiness over time. They also looked at what traits link to high scores. The paper gives clinics a tested tool for screening and care planning.
