Properties of the Shift and Persist Questionnaire in adolescent and young adult cancer patients and survivors: Validity, consistency, and interpretability.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Shift and Persist model provides an informative framework to understand how adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors (ages 15-39) may withstand stress and thrive despite adversity. The goal of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Shift and Persist Questionnaire (SPQ) in this population and provide guidelines for interpretation.
