Phase IV international prospective validation of the EORTC patient satisfaction core questionnaire (EORTC PATSAT-C33) and outpatient module (EORTC OUT-PATSAT7).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advances in cancer care require ongoing monitoring of patient satisfaction using rigorous questionnaires. The EORTC Quality of Life Group has cross-culturally developed a patient satisfaction core questionnaire (PATSAT-C33) to be used in any hospital cancer care settings and an outpatient satisfaction module (OUT-PATSAT7) to address specific aspects of ambulatory care. This multi-center international prospective study aimed to validate the PATSAT-C33 and OUT-PATSAT7, including assessing its acceptability.

Methods

Patients (N = 690) affected by any cancer site or stage equally distributed by age and gender, were enrolled in in- and out-patient cancer settings from 20 institutions, 12 countries and 5 geographic/cultural areas. Among them, 675 completed the PATSAT-C3
