Abstract
This report examines the validity and reliability of the Dysfunctional Behaviour Rating Instrument (DBRI), designed for completion by caregivers of individuals with dementia residing in the community. Randomly selected carers completed the instrument and scores were compared to scores on measures of ADL, cognition and caregiver burden. The DBRI correlated weakly with cognition, r = ‐0.20 (p < .05), but moderately with burden r = 0.49 and ADL r = 0.33 (both p < 0.001), The DBRI is considered to be both valid and reliable for use with an Australian population.
