The full form of BPC in medical term is Behaviour Problem Checklist.
The Behaviour Problem Checklist is a self-report tool asking carers about their perception of the root causes of specific behaviour issues, everyday activities (ADLs), and daily living instrumental activities (IADLs) amongst care recipients.
The BPC deals with a broad range of behaviours frequently observed in people with many chronic conditions, including but not restricted to dementia processes. The measure employs a straightforward response structure with a single evaluation of how problematic each behaviour is, the likelihood that each of the 6 potential causes is to blame for the problems, and a scale to gauge how much help is required with ADLs and IADLs.
Three subscales—cognition, daily functioning, and mental health—compile responses to behavioural issues. The BPC has a straightforward scoring system that enables subscale scores to be graphed and visually presented, requiring less than 10 minutes to complete. The scales, as well as subscales of the BPC, can be utilized as a tool to offer appropriate psychoeducation to the caregiver, as a way to assess the amount of objective burden of caregiving, as well as a way to guide the implementation of suitable interventions to minimize stress and burden.
The CBCL offers data on six scales: conduct difficulties, attention deficit/hyperactivity, oppositional defiance, somatic disorders, plus affective issues.
