The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for measuring the quality of life of cancer patients. Quality of life was measured with 14 linear analogue scale items concerning general physical condition, normal activities, and personal attitudes on general quality of life. The tool was tested with four subject groups: oncology outpatients receiving chemotherapy (43) or radiation therapy (39), oncology inpatients receiving chemotherapy (48), and nonpatient volunteers (48). Test-retest reliability coefficients for these samples ranged from r = .11 to .97, with 52 of the 56 possible r's greater than .60, p less than .01; internal consistency was .88, p less than .01. Construct and discriminant validity were indicated, while concurrent validity between quality of life scores and physician estimates of Karnofsky ratings, prognosis, and quality of life were poor.
本研究的目的是开发一种用于测量癌症患者生活质量的工具。生活质量通过14个线性模拟量表项目进行测量，这些项目涉及一般身体状况、正常活动以及对总体生活质量的个人态度。该工具在四个受试组中进行了测试：接受化疗的肿瘤门诊患者（43例）或放疗患者（39例）、接受化疗的肿瘤住院患者（48例）以及非患者志愿者（48例）。这些样本的重测信度系数范围为r = 0.11至0.97，56个可能的r值中有52个大于0.60，p小于0.01；内部一致性为0.88，p小于0.01。显示了结构效度和区分效度，而生活质量得分与医生对卡诺夫斯基评分、预后和生活质量的估计之间的同时效度较差。
