Caregiver Contribution to the Self Care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory

The Self-care of Coronary Heart Disease Inventory (SC-CHDI) was developed by a U.S. team based on the Self-care of Chronic Illness theory. The caregiver contributions to the self-care of coronary heart disease can be measured with the CC-SCCHDI. Use of the patient and the caregiver versions together facilitates dyadic analyses. The Caregiver versions of the self-care measures were developed by Ercole Vellone, PhD, RN, FESC of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.
