Psychometric validation of the Chinese version of the Edmonton-33 scale in patients with head and neck cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to translate the Edmonton-33 scale (E-33) into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validity in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).

Methods

In Phase 1, the E-33 was translated from English to Chinese using the Brislin double-back translation method. Content validity was evaluated by a panel of experts, and a pilot test was conducted with a small sample of HNC patients. In Phase 2, a cohort of 510 patients from Henan and Hubei provinces was recruited.
