The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric
properties of a new measurement tool, the Cancer Functional Assessment Set
(cFAS). DESIGN: A total of 119 inpatients with cancer participated in this
prospective cohort study. This study took place in three phases: (1) item
generation, literature search, and a round-table discussion by 32 rehabilitation
specialists; (2) item reduction and selection of appropriate items from the first
item pool; and (3) evaluation of psychometric properties. Concurrent validity
(Spearman correlation coefficients with existing scales), internal reliability
(Cronbach coefficient alpha), interrater reliability (weighted kappa statistics
and intraclass correlation coefficient), cross-validation, and responsiveness
(standardized response mean values) were examined. RESULTS: The cFAS consisted of
24 items. Significant correlations were found between the cFAS and existing
scales. Cronbach alpha for the total score was 0.92. Weighted kappa values for
each item ranged from 0.74 to 1.00. The intraclass correlation for the total
score was 0.97. Concurrent validity and internal consistency were similar at two
different hospitals. The cFAS was more responsive to changes than the other
tools. CONCLUSIONS: The cFAS has acceptable psychometric properties, supporting
its broad generalizability. It can be a useful tool in clinical trials and can
contribute to the development of cancer rehabilitation.
