“…To this end, future large scale trials are needed and such trials also would allow performing psychometric analysis. A similar recommendation was spelled out by Marinho et al who recently translated the QLQ-LC29 into the Portuguese language [19,20].…”

Background: The quality of life (QoL) of patients with lung cancer (LC) may be affected by disease-related limitations such as patients' functioning, the severity of symptoms, financial problems resulting along with the side effects of the treatment. The objective of this study was to translate LC-specific QoL questionnaire EORTC QLQ-LC29 into Nepalese language for Nepalese LC patients. Methods: In the process of translation, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) translations guidelines were followed. The translated questionnaire was pilot-tested in a sample of 15 patients with LC. Descriptive statistics were calculated with SPSS version 21.0. Results: All steps of the EORTC translation guideline were followed successfully. Fifteen lung cancer patients were included in the pilot study. Sixty percent were male and the mean age was 49.87 (range 21-76 years). For all items not related to thoracic surgery, patients used the entire range of the response options from 1 to 4 and no missing responses were observed. The highest mean (indicating a high symptom burden) was observed for the item number. 35 (shortness of breath; Mean = 3.33, SD = 1.11) and the lowest mean for an item number. 45 (dizzy; Mean = 1.73, SD = 0.96). Conclusion: The Nepalese version of EORTC QLQ-LC29 is a result of a successfully conducted rigorous translation procedure, and is highly comprehensible as well as acceptable to Nepalese LC patients. Thus, the Nepalese version of EORTC QLQ-LC29 is ready to be used in international clinical studies as well as in Nepalese clinical practice.

“…During our pilot testing, eight items (27.6%) received comments from patients. The percentage was relatively high compared with that in the pilot testing studies of the EORTC QLQ-LC29 in other languages [ 16 , 17 ]. This may be due to cultural differences.…”

Background The latest European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 29 (QLQ-LC29) has been translated and validated in several languages but not yet in simplified Chinese. This study aimed to translate this questionnaire into simplified Chinese and adapt it for use in Chinese patients with lung cancer. Methods The translation and adaptation process followed the EORTC translation procedure, and consisted of eight steps, namely, translation preparation, forward translations, reconciled translation, back translations, a back translation report, proofreading, pilot testing, and finalisation. The pilot testing included 10 patients with lung cancer. Results We obtained the permission to perform the EORTC QLQ-LC29 translation work on November 17, 2020. Thereafter, it took 3 weeks to complete the forward translations, reconciled translation, and back translations. After several rounds of discussion with the EORTC Translation Unit, 19 items used the existing translations from the EORTC Item Library (a database of EORTC questionnaire items and their translations), and 10 items were translated from scratch. The 10 patients included in the pilot testing phase had a median age of 64 years (range 31–69 years); five were male, five had an educational level of high school or above, and six had undergone surgery. Eight items received comments from patients (six items by one patient alone and the other two items by three patients). No patients commented on the instructions or the format used for responses. After discussion with the EORTC Translation Unit, we modified the Chinese wording in item 50 to ensure that the meaning of “lifeless” was clear. No changes were made to the remaining items. Conclusions The simplified Chinese version of the EORTC QLQ-LC29 is now available on the EORTC website. This translation may contribute to the application of the EORTC QLQ-LC29 scale in both research and clinical practice in the Chinese population with lung cancer. Further evaluation of the psychometric properties of the translated EORTC QLQ-LC29 is warranted.

“…Other organs of the body, etc., will be involved in the severe cases [3] . At present, clinical treatment of lung cancer mainly includes surgery and chemotherapy to prolong patient's survival time [4,5] . Lung cancer patients need to stay in bed on a long-term basis for treatment and recuperation.…”

To study the effects of perioperative psychological reinforcement intervention on negative emotion and quality of life in lung cancer patients is the main objective. 120 lung cancer patients were selected and divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. The control group was given routine nursing and the experimental group was given psychological nursing. The difference in profile of mood states-short form scores, University of California, Los Angeles loneliness scale and distress tolerance scores, European organisation for research and treatment of cancer quality of life questionnaire C30 scores between the two groups before and after the intervention was comparatively analyzed to reveal the correlation between negative emotions and quality of life as well as the effects of psychological reinforcement interventions on negative emotions and quality of life. The difference in profile of mood states-short form scores, University of California, Los Angeles loneliness scale and distress tolerance scores between the two groups after the intervention were observed. Where, the total profile of mood states-short form score was (17.28±5.41) points in the experimental group and (37.62±11.50) points in the control group after the intervention. Correlation between negative emotions and quality of life was shown and psychological reinforcement intervention had significant impact on negative emotions and quality of life. Perioperative psychological reinforcement intervention can significantly improve negative emotions in lung cancer patients, improving patient satisfaction and prognosis.
