“…The PDL domain of the SCNS-SF34 had a moderate correlation with the MSAS-PHYS and the SF-12 v2 Physical Component Summary scores. These findings were similar to those found in Chinese patients with colorectal cancer [11], Chinese patients with breast cancer [8], Mexican patients with cancer [10], etc. Similar to previous studies, we also observed moderate correlations between the PDL domain and other psychological outcomes, such as the HADS, the MSAS-PSYCH and the SF-12 v2 MCS, which implied that unmet physical and daily living needs would lead to psychological distress.…”

“…There are 5 domains, including physical and daily living needs (PDL), psychological needs (PSY), patient care and support needs (PCS), health systems and information needs (HSI) and sexuality needs (SEX). The SCNS-SF34 has been validated in different cancer populations, such as China [8], France [9] and Mexico [10]. In Chinese populations, the construct validity and reliability have been established in women with breast cancer in Hong Kong [8] and patients with colorectal cancer in Hong Kong and Taiwan [11] only.…”

Background: Despite the wide use of the Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey Questionnaire (SCNS-SF34), the measurement invariance of the SCNS-SF34 across the main groups-gender and age-which might be of interest in the application of the instrument has never been confirmed. To provide an accurate assessment tool to evaluate the unmet needs of Chinese cancer patients, the present study aimed to assess the measurement invariance of the SCNS-SF34 across gender and age groups and to assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the SCNS-SF34. Methods: The SCNS-SF34 was administrated to 1106 Chinese cancer patients. Other instruments included the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form (MSAS-SF), the Short-Form-12 Health Survey version 2 (SF-12 v2) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Factor structure, internal construct validity, convergent validity, known-group validity and internal consistency were assessed. Results: Our data fit the original five-factor model. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated measurement invariance across age and gender groups. The domains of the SCNS-SF34 had moderate correlations with the corresponding domains of the MSAS-SF, the SF-12 v2 and the HADS, which supported convergent validity. Of the 34 items, 33 had an item-total correlation that was corrected for an overlap of > 0.4 to support the internal construct validity. The SCNS-SF34 aptly differentiated patients by age and gender. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranged from 0.64 to 0.87. Conclusions: We confirm the measurement invariance of the Chinese version of the SCNS-SF34 across gender and age group. It is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating the needs of Chinese patients with cancer.

IntroductionDetermining and managing the unfulfilled supportive care needs of the patients is among the base components of healthcare (1). Supportive care may be considered as the determination of the care needs of the patients with and patient-centered approach and fulfilling those needs effectively (2). Before and during diagnosis, throughout the treatment, in the terminal period, it is the supportive care that helps the patient and the family to cope with the illness (3).Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among Turkish women. Every one out of four women diagnosed with cancer has breast cancer. The number of the women diagnosed with breast cancer in one year is 17.531 in Turkey (4). It is vital to acknowledge the complete effects of the unfulfilled needs of breast cancer patient on their quality of life to take effective and timely action. Various studies have shown that the unfulfilled care needs of cancer patients occur mostly in the early stages of cancer survival and that this has a negative effect on life quality of patients (5-7).Besides, various other studies put forward that supportive care is associated with longer survival and better life quality (7)(8)(9). In this respect, it is necessary to determine the supportive care needs of breast cancer patients and improve their quality of life. Patients have a multitude of care need dimensions; these dimensions include physical, practical-daily life activities, economic, environmental, cultural, knowledge, communication, emotional, psychosocial, psychosexual, spiritual-existential areas (10). Identifying unfulfilled needs will enable the improvement of the resources of cancer patients and the re-planning of the care (3). Recently, an interest in formal and systematical identification of care Eur J Breast Health 2017; 13: 183-8 DOI: 10.5152/tjbh.2017.3266 183 ABSTRACT Objective: In the study, Adaptation of The Short-Form Supportive Care Needs Survey Questionnaire (SCNS-SF 34) into Turkish, examination of its validity and reliability was aimed at. Materials and Methods:The study was carried out between May and July, 2016 with 170 patients. The socio-demographic and clinical status was analyzed by means of number averages and standard deviation. After language validity, the content validity index was calculated. The split-scale analyses, which are reliability internal consistency tests, were performed with the Cronbach α coefficient and total item correlation. For structure validity, exploratory factor analysis was used. Results:The average age of the patients is 55.53±11.43 years and average time since diagnosis is 5.69±5.06 years. The content validity index of the scale was calculated as 0.83. The Cronbach α coefficient is 0.93. In terms of the item total score correlation, all correlation coefficients except items 18 and 19 were between 0.36 and 0.81 and p<0.001. Items 18 and 19 were excluded. Following the exploratory factor analysis, items 13, 17 and 32 were excluded as their two detected high weight values were below 0.10. The descriptive ...

Background: Puerto Ricans are among the largest Hispanic groups in the US. Clinicians/researchers must become skilled in assessing the prevalence of the perceived unmet needs of Puerto Rican cancer patients undergoing treatment to properly respond to their needs, and is an important part of any culturally comprehensive oncological care. Objective: To assess Puerto Rican cancer survivors reports of perceived unmet needs across 5 domains of the cancer experience: "psychological", "health system and information", "physical and daily living", "patient care and support", and "sexuality" and to examine how the perceived unmet needs and disease characteristics are inter-related. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 103 patients (64.1% female, male 35.9%, mean age 54 years) undergoing cancer treatments. The study participants were >20 years of age with breast (28%), gynecologic (21%), prostate (17%) and gastrointestinal (14%) cancer, mostly on chemotherapy. Overall internal consistency of the Supportive Care Needs Survey was 0.882. Results: Patients perceived needs were highest in the domains of sexuality (67%), physical and daily living (55.3%), and psychological (38.8%). Breast cancer was significantly related to reporting unmet needs in the domains of health services/information (p = .018) and sexuality (p = .009). Prostate cancer showed a significant relationship with unmet needs in the domains of psychological (p = .050) and, the physical/daily living (p < .001). Receiving chemotherapy was related with unmet needs in the domains of sexuality (p = .02), and the physical/daily living (p = .047); and, receiving combination of radiation and hormonal therapy was related to unmet needs in the physical/daily living needs domain (p = .024). Conclusions: The accurate assessment of supportive care needs is important in the management of cancer patients. The unmet supportive care needs of our sample of Puerto Rican cancer patients seem to be affected by cancer site and treatment modality.
