Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS, Xiao, 1993) was used to measure the social support of caregivers in this study. SSRS has been used by wide range of Chinese populations and showed high reliability and validity Xu and Wei (2013). The 10 items, each scored on a 4-point Likert scale, were allocated to three subscales: subjective support, objective support and support availability. The total score was 40. The total scores above 20 were regarded as normal. The higher the scores were, the higher the social support was. Its internal consistency was reported as satisfactory (α > 0.91).
