“…Exploratory factor analysis (EFA, principal component analysis with varimax rotation) was used for the examination of factor validity. To test the suitability of the data for EFA, The Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's tests were used to identify the sample adequacy and appropriateness of sample size respectively [18].…”

“…This was a similar methodology for the assessment of convergent validity used in other studies in other countries for the assessment of convergent validity [29,30,31]. The differences of other studies where convergent validity was assessed by comparing with previously validated Questionnaire in the similar language "30-item European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ) Core Questionnaire, The 25-item EORTC QLQ information module, the 14-itemHospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), The 10-item Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS)" [6,14,18,9].

“…SCNS-SF34 can reduce respondent burden in routine cancer care than SCNS-LF59 [16,6]. Till the date, the SCNS-SF34 has been translated and psychometrically validated in various languages, including Australia [6] in cancer patients, China [9] in cancer patients, Italy [18] in patients with melanoma, Turkey [12] in breast cancer patients, German [19] in cancer patients, Dutch [14] in head & neck cancer patients. SCNS-SF34 is a frequently used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) on generic cancer-related SC needs in which patients give the information regarding present need and degree of support for help in the previous month as a result of having cancer (1-no need, not applicable; 2-no need, satis ed; 3-low need; 4-moderate need; 5-high need).…”

PurposePsychometrically valid and reliable supportive care need survey(SCNS) instrument explores perceived supportive care needs of cervical cancer patients in comprehensively. No Nepali validated version so we decided to test the psychometric properties of the translated Nepali version of SCNS-SF 34-N(Nepali) among cervical cancer patients.Methods334 participants were recruited purposively from 5 cancers specific hospital. Factor structure was assessed by using Exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Structure validity, Internal consistency convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the resulting factor structure were calculated and confirmed. ResultsUsing EFA a five-factor structure was developed considering higher loading factor for multiple loaded items which was similar with the dimensions of the original version of the SCNS-SF34 (psychological, health system and information, physical and daily living, patient care and support, and sexuality), accounting for 65.48% of the total variance. Internal consistency was achieved at an acceptable level, with Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranging from 0.789 to 0.929for all five domains and 0.887 for the whole scale. Convergent validity was confirmed by significant inter item correlations with all corresponding items. Independent 't' test between known subgroups on age, marital status, stage of disease and treatment modalities confirmed discriminant validity.ConclusionsIt was confirmed that the SCNS-SF 34 N(Nepali) is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of the supportive care needs of cervical cancer patients in Nepal

PurposeSupportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS) is one of the strongest and complete tools to assess the perceived supportive care needs of cancer patients. SCNS –SF34 has been translated into various other culture based languages, validated and established its psychometric properties. Till now no Nepali version, so we planned to assess the linguistic and cultural validity of Nepali version of the SCNS-SF34 in Nepali population.MethodsTranslation of Supportive Care Need Survey – Short Form 34 (SCNS-SF 34) was done by following Beaton’s guidelines in collaboration with a research team. Cultural adaptation was established through content validity assessment, clarity assessment of questionnaire and pretest. Content validity in terms of semantic, cultural and conceptual was assessed by 10 experts by using Likert scale and clarity of questionnaire was assessed among 15 cervical cancer patients by using Likert scale. The pretest was done among 34 cervical cancer patients to assess the feasibility and practicality of the tool. For reliability of tool test –retest method was used among 50 cervical cancer patients. ResultsThe Nepali version SCNS-SF 34 maintained the content validity (Item Content validity index (I-CVI) >0.78 in semantic, cultural and conceptual aspects and S-CVI (Scale Content Validity Index) was found,89.00% (0.89) 91.88 % (0.91) 90.00%(0.90) in semantic, cultural and conceptual aspects respectively. Content validity ratio (CVR) - 0.9 to 1) and construct validity (0.902) with 91.29 % clarity of questionnaire. This version had good internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.89 to 0.91 with Composite Cronbach's Alpha 0.90. Correlation significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). More simple Nepali words were chosen as suggested by participants in items no 2,3,7, 9,10, 12, 18,19, 25, 27and 30 than the preliminary Nepali version along with the acceptance of all original items.ConclusionsThis finding shows that the SCNS-SF34 was translated and culturally adapted for use in Nepal with high practicality. This translated instrument can be used to assess the supportive care need and correlation between supportive care need and health related quality of life among cervical cancer patients.

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the supportive care needs of Australian melanoma patients and their caregivers to form the basis for improving services. Methods General and melanoma-related supportive care needs in melanoma patients were measured using the SCNS-SF34 and SCNS-M12 respectively, whereas caregivers completed the SCNS-P&C. Patients also completed the MCQ-28 and FCRI-9, with all participants completing the QLQ-C30, DASS-21, and questions measuring utilisation and preference for supportive health services. Multivariable stepwise logistic regression was used to identify variables associated with unmet needs in melanoma patients. Results A total of 56 early-stage patients, 100 advanced-stage patients, and 37 caregivers participated. At least three-quarters ($$\ge$$ ≥ 75%) of each participant group reported at least one unmet need. Of the ten most reported unmet needs in each participant group, at least six ($$\ge$$ ≥ 60%) were related to psychological and emotional well-being, with access to a psychologist the most desired service (> 25%). Fear of cancer recurrence was equally prevalent in both patient groups at a level indicative of need for intervention. Advanced-stage patients reported significantly (p < 0.05) more unmet psychological, physical and daily living, and sexuality needs, and significantly (p < 0.05) worse functioning than early-stage patients. Conclusion Australian melanoma patients and caregivers report substantial unmet supportive care needs, particularly regarding their psychological and emotional well-being. Psychological and emotional well-being services, such as access to a clinical psychologist or implementation of patient-reported outcome measures, should be incorporated into routine melanoma care to address unmet patient and caregiver needs and improve well-being.
