OBJECTIVES: Culturally adapt and validate the Caregiving Ambivalence Scale (CAS) for Brazil. METHODS: Two independent translations and back-translations were conducted. Conceptual, cultural, and idiomatic equivalence were evaluated (Fleiss' Kappa = 1.0). The Brazilian CAS, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 were administered online to 111 family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's across Brazil. RESULTS: = .430; CFI = 0.999; TLI = 1.000; RMSEA = 0.000). The CAS was significantly associated with depression (β = 0.589), stress (β = 0.653), and anxiety (β = 0.455) when controlling for sociodemographic variables. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of CAS is still in the early stages of validation, but demonstrated good psychometric properties and equivalence to the original instrument. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The Brazilian version of CAS has the potential to support interventions to promote caregivers' mental health.
