Summary
The Moroccan Arabic version of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire demonstrates good reliability and validity for assessing cancer patient satisfaction in oncology centers. This validated tool supports quality of life research in diverse patient populations.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Psychometrics
- Health Services Research
Background:
- The EORTC Quality of Life (QL) Group developed the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire.
- This tool assesses patient satisfaction in oncology centers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the psychometric properties of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 questionnaire.
- To validate the Moroccan Arabic translation for use with cancer patients in Morocco.
Main Methods:
- 133 hospitalized cancer patients in Moroccan oncology hospitals completed the translated questionnaire.
- Internal consistency reliability, reproducibility, and construct validity were assessed.
Main Results:
- Good internal consistency was observed across all scales (Cronbach's coefficients 0.72–0.95).
- Reproducibility was satisfactory, with intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) generally above 0.70.
- Construct validity was supported by items correlating highly with their own scales.
Conclusions:
- The Moroccan Arabic version of the EORTC IN-PATSAT32 exhibits acceptable reliability and validity.
- These findings are comparable to versions validated in other languages, supporting its use in clinical and research settings.
