MOLINA, Bilena; RODRIGUEZ, Luisa; VALDELAMAR, Adriana y SANCHEZ, Ricardo. Transcultural adaptation of the scale FACIT-Pal to measure quality of life in patients having advanced cancer in Colombia. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.1, pp.18-25. Epub 10-Mayo-2020. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.13.
Introduction:
Measuring quality of life in patients having advanced cancer using scales allows to objectively evaluate a prioritary outcome in this group of patients.
Objective:
to translate and adapt the FACIT-Pal scale cross-culturally in patients with advanced cancer in Colombia.
Methods:
The study was carried out according to the steps suggested by the FACIT group for translation and transcultural adaptation of scales. A pilot test was applied to 10 Colombian patients who attended the palliative care service of the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología E.S.E.
Results:
in the adaptation the items Pal-1, 5, 10, 12 and 14 were modified in the reconciled version and there were no changes in the translation of the instructions and answer options; after the pilot test, the items that were confusing for the patients were Pal-5 and 9 and no items were offensive.
Conclusions:
A transculturally adapted version of the FACIT-Pal was generated; this version can be validated in patients diagnosed with advanced cancer in Colombia.
