“…Another interesting project I have been part of was looking at existential suffering with regards to cancer survivorship (Ueland et al, 2021). This was a collaborative project situated in Norway, and we used Eriksson’s caritative caring theory (Eriksson, 1989; Lindström et al, 2018) as a framework for this study.…”

The year 2022 is Nursing Science Quarterly’s 35th year in publication, and we are dialoging with nurse theorists. We hope to uncover influences and origins of their theoretical thinking and hear about their current projects related to nursing science. In this scholarly dialogue column, we dialogue with Dr. Jessica Hemberg, a former nursing student of nurse theorist Dr. Katie Eriksson who was internationally known for her theory of caritative caring. In 1986, Professor Eriksson was invited to create a caring science academic program at Åbo Akademi University in Vaasa, Finland, which drew graduate students from all Nordic countries. Eriksson’s work highlighted the uniqueness and dignity of the human being and the importance of protecting the vulnerable suffering human being. Dr. Eriksson passed away in 2019, and we are grateful to spend some time with one of her PhD students.

ObjectiveExistential distress is a common phenomenon in palliative care cancer patients. Developing a reliable and easy‐to‐use assessment scale for existential distress of palliative care cancer patients is crucial. The aim of this study was to develop a measurement of existential distress for palliative care cancer patients and test its properties.MethodsThe guidelines for developing a scale proposed by DeVellis were followed. Palliative care cancer patients were invited to test the draft scale. Two‐hundred and nineteen valid questionnaires were included for the item analysis and exploratory factor analysis. Three‐hundred and two valid questionnaires were included for confirmatory factor, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and internal consistency reliability analyses. Twenty repeated data were measured for test–retest reliability analysis.ResultsThe Existential Distress Scale for Palliative Care Cancer Patients was developed with nine items and three dimensions, including meaninglessness, alienation, and death anxiety. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the developed scale had a stable factor structure. The Cronbach's α for the whole scale was 0.81, and that for each dimension was 0.76, 0.67, and 0.70, respectively. The test–retest reliability of the scale was 0.79, and that of each dimension was 0.58–0.64.ConclusionsThe Existential Distress Scale for Palliative Care Cancer Patients is a simple but reliable and valid tool.
