The Psychosocial Screen for Cancer (PSSCAN): Further validation and normative data

Abstract: Background: We have previously reported on the development of a cancer-specific screening instrument for anxiety and depression (PSSCAN). No information on cut-off scores or their meaning for diagnosis was available when PSSCAN was first described. Needed were additional analyses to recommend empirically justified cut-off scores as well as data norms for healthy adult samples so as to lend meaning to the recommended cut-off scores.

“…Pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer apresentam uma tendência a maiores indicadores de depressão, quando comparados a uma população saudável (Linden, Vodermaier, McKenzie, Barroetavena, Yi & Doll, 2009).
