Most siblings of childhood cancer patients (SCCP) report not only post-traumatic stress but also daily stresses due to changes in their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to develop a stress scale for SCCP and to examine the validity and reliability of the scale. Based on conceptual analysis, 40 preliminary items were selected. After its content validity was determined by six experts, 37 items were chosen. For the psychometric testing, 125 SCCPs, aged 11-16, were surveyed. Through item analysis and exploratory factor analysis for construct validity, 27 items explained 61.2% of the variance, and they were categorized into six factors. Criterion validity was confirmed by examining the overall correlation with standard instruments according to the age group. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha (0.91) and test-retest correlation (r = 0.597). This self-administered questionnaire with a 4-point Likert-type scale may be useful in clarifying and measuring stress levels in SCCPs.
大多数儿童癌症患者的兄弟姐妹（SCCP）不仅报告有创伤后应激反应，还报告日常生活变化带来的日常压力。本研究的目的是为SCCP开发一种压力量表，并检验该量表的有效性和可靠性。基于概念分析，选取了40个初步项目。经6位专家确定其内容效度后，选定了37个项目。为进行心理测量测试，对125名11至16岁的SCCP进行了调查。通过项目分析和探索性因素分析以验证结构效度，27个项目解释了61.2%的方差，并被分为六个因素。通过根据年龄组检查与标准工具的总体相关性来确认效标效度。使用克朗巴赫α系数（0.91）和重测相关性（r = 0.597）评估可靠性。这种采用4点李克特量表的自填式问卷可能有助于明确和测量SCCP的压力水平。
