Symptoms of patients with cancer need to be evaluated with a standard instrument. The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form (MSAS-SF) is a symptom assessment tool that has been validated in many languages.
The aim of the present study was to validate the Korean-version Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Short Form (MSAS-SF) in patients with gynecologic cancer.
We translated the MSAS-SF into Korean, and 175 gynecologic cancer inpatients completed the MSAS-SF, Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), and gathered demographic and clinical data and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS). Reliability was assessed for internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated between the MSAS-SF and FACT-G subscales for convergent validity. T-test analysis was used to compare differences in MSAS-SF subscales by cancer stage and KPS for discriminant validity.
The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the MSAS-SF subscales ranged from 0.80 to 0.91. The Korean-version MSAS-SF subscales showed convergent validity with FACT-G subscales. The correlation coefficients were -0.640 (P < 0.001) and -0.628 (P < 0.001) for global distress index and total MSAS score with FACT-G total score. The scores of MSAS-SF subscales showed appropriate differences by cancer stage and KPS.
The Korean-version MSAS-SF is a valid tool for the reliable assessment of patients with gynecologic cancer in Korea.
癌症患者的症状需要用标准工具进行评估。纪念症状评估量表-简短版(MSAS-SF)是一种已在多种语言中得到验证的症状评估工具。
本研究旨在验证妇科癌症患者的韩国版纪念症状评估量表-简短版(MSAS-SF)。
我们将 MSAS-SF 翻译成韩语,175 名妇科癌症住院患者完成了 MSAS-SF、癌症治疗功能评估-一般(FACT-G),并收集了人口统计学和临床数据以及卡诺夫斯基表现状态(KPS)。用 Cronbach's alpha 系数评估内部一致性来评估信度。Pearson 相关系数用于评估 MSAS-SF 与 FACT-G 子量表之间的收敛效度。T 检验分析用于评估癌症分期和 KPS 对 MSAS-SF 子量表的判别效度差异。
MSAS-SF 子量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数范围为 0.80 至 0.91。韩国版 MSAS-SF 子量表与 FACT-G 子量表具有收敛效度。相关系数分别为-0.640(P<0.001)和-0.628(P<0.001),用于全球痛苦指数和总 MSAS 评分与 FACT-G 总分。MSAS-SF 子量表的评分在癌症分期和 KPS 方面表现出适当的差异。
韩国版 MSAS-SF 是一种可靠的评估韩国妇科癌症患者的有效工具。
