Zusammenfassung	The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale is a brief, validated tool developed by Donald Morisky in 1986 to measure patients' adherence to prescribed medications. Originally created to assess hypertension medication compliance, it has since become a standard screening instrument across chronic disease management, primary care, and pharmaceutical research. The scale is valued for its brevity, ease of administration, and predictive validity for clinical outcomes.	The Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview, developed by Steven H. Zarit and colleagues in 1980, is a widely used assessment tool designed to quantify the subjective burden experienced by informal caregivers of persons with dementia or other chronic illnesses. The 22-item instrument measures emotional, financial, and physical strain related to caregiving and has become a standard in geriatric, gerontology, neurology, and behavioral health settings worldwide.
