To evaluate the acceptability, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the Spanish version of the FACT-B+4 questionnaire, designed to assess the health related quality of life (HRQL) in breast cancer.
Prospective study with 2 samples: patients with incident breast cancer (n=104) evaluated before and after surgery; and patients with chronic lymphedema of the upper extremity (n=30), evaluated twice in 7days. HRQL was assessed using the generic instrument SF-36 and the specific one FACT-B+4.
Reliability coefficients were ≥ 0.7 for most scores. The Physical wellbeing, Breast Cancer, Arm and TOI scores discriminated between patients with and without chemotherapy (p<0.05), while the Arm scale discriminated between patients with and without axillary surgery (p<0.001). In the worsening sub-sample, the FACT-B+4 detected changes in Physical, Emotional and Functional Wellbeing, and TOI scores.
The metric characteristics of the Spanish version of the FACT-B+4 are similar to the original questionnaire and support its equivalence, documenting its suitability for use in our country or in international studies.
评估用于评估乳腺癌患者健康相关生活质量(HRQL)的西班牙文版FACT - B + 4问卷的可接受性、可靠性、有效性及对变化的敏感性。
采用前瞻性研究,分两个样本:新发乳腺癌患者(n = 104)在手术前后进行评估;上肢慢性淋巴水肿患者(n = 30)在7天内进行两次评估。使用通用工具SF - 36和特定工具FACT - B + 4评估HRQL。
大多数评分的可靠性系数≥0.7。身体幸福感、乳腺癌、手臂和TOI评分在接受化疗和未接受化疗的患者之间存在差异(p < 0.05),而手臂量表在接受腋窝手术和未接受腋窝手术的患者之间存在差异(p < 0.001)。在病情恶化的子样本中,FACT - B + 4检测到身体、情感和功能幸福感以及TOI评分的变化。
西班牙文版FACT - B + 4的度量特征与原始问卷相似,支持其等效性,证明其适用于我国或国际研究。
