“…On the RCMAS-2-C, the categorical omega value for the Physiological Anxiety scores was moderate. Previous studies with Asian samples also reported moderate Cronbach's alpha for this scale's scores (Ang et al, 2011;Wu et al, 2016). Researchers have found that people from different cultures sometimes report different physical symptoms that accompanying the same mental health problems (Waza, Graham, Zyzanski, & Inoue, 1999).…”

“…In line with this, Raad (2013) conducted an EFA on the RCMAS-2 among 178 students with specific learning disabilities (SLD), and found a four-factor structure with the Worry and Social Anxiety items loading on one factor instead of two along with the Physiological Anxiety factor and the two Defensiveness factors. Several researchers have adapted the RCMAS-2 or the RCMAS-2 Short Form (i.e., the first 10 items on the measure) into Mandarin to use with Chinese students (To, 2011;Wu, Liu, Chen, Tseng, & Lin, 2016). Wu and colleagues (2016) administered the Mandarin version of the RCMAS-2 to 370 Taiwanese pediatric cancer patients, aged 6 to 19.…”

Wu and colleagues (2016) administered the Mandarin version of the RCMAS-2 to 370 Taiwanese pediatric cancer patients, aged 6 to 19. The authors found some evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the different scale scores, with the exception that the internal consistency reliability estimate for the Physiological Anxiety scale scores was relatively low (α = .65).…”

The purpose of this study was to adapt the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale-Second Edition (RCMAS-2) into Mandarin and to examine its psychometric properties among Chinese adolescents. The participants included 436 Chinese students in Grades 7 to 12 who were administered the Chinese version of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS-2-C). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were performed to examine the factor structure of the RCMAS-2-C. Results indicated a modified four-factor model (Worry and Social Anxiety factors combined, Physiological Anxiety, Defensiveness I, and Defensiveness II factors) provided an adequate model fit to the data. Categorical omegas were computed and ranged from .68 to .90 for the RCMAS-2 scale scores. Convergent evidence of validity for the RCMAS-2-C anxiety scores was also found. Implications of the findings of the study for clinicians and researchers are discussed.

“…However, cancer diagnosis and treatment can cause considerable emotional and psychological distress (Akimana et al, 2019; Collins et al, 2002; Sohn et al, 2017). The presence of psychological and emotional morbidities is considered an important indicator of a patient's well-being (Wu et al, 2016). The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence has highlighted the importance of incorporating psychological services into cancer treatment (National Institute of Health & Clinical Excellence, 2005).…”

Assessment of psychological and emotional disorders is an important indicator of well-being among children and adolescents with cancer. This review aimed to determine the prevalence rates of three major psychological disorders in this population, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Various databases were searched to identify cross-sectional studies assessing anxiety, depression, and PTSD among children and adolescents with cancer. The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist was used to assess research quality. Of the 40 studies included in the literature review, 33 measured anxiety, 28 focused on depression, and nine assessed PTSD. A total of 18 studies were incorporated into the meta-analysis, with pooled prevalence rates of anxiety, depression and PTSD found to be 13.92% (n = 1,971; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 10.23–18.07%), 20.43% (n = 1,990, 95% CI = 13.85–27.93%), and 20.90% (n = 755, 95% CI = 13.28–29.73%), respectively. Mental health and psychological interventions are essential for children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer. Future work should be undertaken in different regions, such as the Middle East or Africa, or South America when assessing the prevalence of psychological disorders in children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer.
