Description
Shilling and colleagues further tested in 2026 a questionnaire that measures how cancer and its treatment disrupt patients' everyday roles, such as caregiving and money duties. The scale was first built for advanced cancer, but its makers meant it for all cancers and stages. This study checked it in people treated with curative intent, three years after diagnosis.
The data came from 1,077 survivors of breast, gynecological, and blood cancers in a long-running British cohort. The sixteen-item scale held together well, and its subscales were mostly sound. Scores lined up with related measures of work, social life, and quality of life in the pattern predicted. A statistical model confirmed the scale's three-part structure, though its parts overlapped more than expected. The authors conclude the scale is fit for wider use in survivorship research.
