Validation of the Korean Version of the Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors (QOL-CS-K) Questionnaire in Lymphoma Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this study was to validate the Korean version of the Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors (QOL-CS-K) in a sample of lymphoma survivors.

Materials and methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of lymphoma survivors who had survived for at least 24 months since diagnosis. Participants were recruited at the outpatient clinics and at a hospital event in a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. Survivors were asked to complete the QOL-CS-K and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaires. To determine test-retest reliability, a second questionnaire was sent to participants who completed the first questionnaire adequately. Exploratory factor analysis and Pearson's correlations
