Translation and psychometric testing of the Thai version of cancer survivors' unmet needs measure among cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Cancer Survivors' Unmet needs (CaSUN-TH) scale among Thai cancer survivors after completion of primary treatment.

Methods

Standardized translation procedures developed the Cancer Survivors' Unmet Needs into a Thai version (CaSUN-TH).

A total of 236 cancer survivors who were attending follow-up visits at a cancer hospital in Thailand completed the CaSUN-TH.
