Reliability and validity of the Mandarin version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short-Form (SCNS-SF34) and the Head and Neck Cancer-specific Supportive Care Needs (SCNS-HNC) module

Abstract Background: This study aimed to translate the English version of the supportive care needs scale of head and neck cancer patients (SCNS-HNC) questionnaire into Mandarin and to test the reliability and validity of the SCNS-SF34 and SCNS-HNC module in head and neck cancer patients. Methods: The Mandarin version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey Short-Form (SCNS-SF34) and SCNS-HNC scales were used to assess 206 patients with head and neck cancer in Chengdu, China. Among them, 51 patients were re-tested 2 or 3 days after the first survey. The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the retest reliability of the scale was evaluated by retest correlation coefficient r, the structural validity of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis, and the ceiling and floor effects of the scale were evaluated. Results: The Mandarin version of the SCNS-HNC had Cronbach's alpha coefficients greater than 0.700 (0.737 ≤ 0.962) for all of the domains. Except for the psychological demand dimension (r=0.674) of the SCNS-SF34 scale, the retest reliability of the other domains was greater than 0.8. Three common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.39%. Conclusions: The Mandarin version of the SCNS-SF34 and SCNS-HNC demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity and is able to measure the supportive care needs of Chinese patients with head and neck cancer.

Abstract Background To translate the English version of supportive care needs scale of head and neck cancer patients (SCNS-HNC) questionnaire into Mandarin (Simplified), and to test reliability and validity. Methods The With authorization of the English version scale were obtained from Professor Irma M. Verdonck-de Leeuw who worked at VU University Medical Center of Cancer Center Amsterdam (CCA), in the Netherlands. The Mandarin (Simplified) version of the SCNS-HNC scale was developed by translation, back-translation and cultural adaptation. The Mandarin (Simplified) version of Supportive Care Needs Survey Short-Form (SCNS-SF34) and SCNS-HNC scales were used to measure 206 patients with head and neck cancer in a upper first-class hospital in Chengdu. Among them, 51 patients were re-tested 2 or 3 days after the first survey. The internal consistency of the scale was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the retest reliability of the scale was evaluated by retest correlation coefficient r, the structural validity of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis, and the ceiling and floor effects of the scale were evaluated. Item-domain correlation analysis was used to evaluate the collective validity and differential validity of the scale. Results The Mandarin (Simplified) version of SCNS-HNC had Cronbach's alpha coefficients of more than 0.700 (0.737 ≤ 0.962)for the all of the domians. Except for the psychological demand dimension of SCNS-SF34 scale, the retest reliability in other fields was more than 0.8. Three common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.39%. The correlation coefficient of all items in Mandarin (Simplified) version of SCNS-SF34and SCNS-HNC with their own domians were higher than those with otherdomians. Conclusion The Mandarin (Simplified) of SCNS-HNC demonstrates satisfactory reliability and validity, which is available for measurement of the supportive care needs of Chinese patients with head and neck cancer.Clinical registration number: ChiCTR1900026635

AbstractObjectives:No study systematically has investigated the supportive care needs of general head and neck cancer patients using validated measures. These needs include physical and daily living needs, health system and information needs, patient care and support needs, psychological needs, and sexuality needs. Identifying the unmet needs of head and neck cancer patients is a necessary first step to improving the care we provide to patients seen in our head and neck oncology clinics. It is recommended as the first step in intervention development in the Pan-Canadian Clinical Practice Guideline of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (see Howell, 2009). This study aimed to identify: (1) met and unmet supportive care needs of head and neck cancer patients, and (2) variability in needs according to demographics, disease variables, level of distress, and quality-of-life domains.Methods:Participants were recruited from the otolaryngology–head and neck surgery clinics of two university teaching hospitals. Self-administered questionnaires included sociodemographic and medical questions, as well as validated measures such as the Supportive Care Needs Survey–Short Form (SCNS-SF34), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–General (FACT-G) and Head and Neck Module (FACT-H&N) (quality of life measures).Results:One hundred and twenty-seven patients participated in the survey. 68% of them experienced unmet needs, and 25% revealed a clinically significant distress level on the HADS. The highest unmet needs were psychological (7 of top 10 needs). A multiple linear regression indicated a higher level of overall unmet needs when patients were divorced, had a high level of anxiety (HADS subscale), were in poor physical condition, or had a diminished emotional quality of life (FACT-G subscales).Significance of results:The results of this study highlight the overwhelming presence of unmet psychological needs in head and neck cancer patients and underline the importance of implementing interventions to address these areas perceived by patients as important. In line with hospital resource allocation and cost-effectiveness, one may also contemplate screening patients for high levels of anxiety, as well as target patients who are divorced and present low levels of physical well-being, as these patients may have more overall needs to be met.
