来自标准化和疾病特异性措施的心理社会结果通常用于儿科肿瘤学;然而，这些工具在儿童癌症成年幸存者中的可靠性，有效性和实用性尚未建立。开发和评估一种新的工具，用于测量现有工具无法测量的长期生存率。一种新的候选工具-癌症对儿童癌症幸存者的影响（IOC-CS）-被用于年龄在18-39岁之间的儿童癌症幸存者，他们在被诊断患有癌症时年龄在21岁或以下。新衍生的量表的心理测量特性进行了评估。项目的因素分析得出八个新的和具体的分量表：生活挑战，身体/健康，与父母交谈，个人成长，思维/记忆问题，健康素养，社交和财务问题。这些分量表的内部一致性测量值范围为0.70至0.86。观察到IOC-CS子量表和健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）标准化测量内部和之间的预期关联，以及一些意外发现。心理测量学分析表明，这个初始版本的IOC-CS措施不同的和相关的结构，为年轻的成年幸存者的儿童癌症。未来的工作是必要的，以确认响应性，并进一步验证仪器在多个和代表性的样品。
Psychosocial outcomes derived from standardized and disease-specific measures are often used in pediatric oncology; however, the reliability, validity and utility of these instruments in adult survivors of childhood cancer have yet to be established. To develop and evaluate a new instrument that measures aspects of long-term survivorship not measured by existing tools. A new candidate instrument—the Impact of Cancer for childhood cancer survivors (IOC-CS)—was administered to childhood cancer survivors aged 18–39 who were 21 years of age or younger when diagnosed with cancer. Psychometric properties of newly derived scales were assessed. Factor analyses of items derived eight new and specific subscales: Life Challenges, Body/Health, Talking With Parents, Personal Growth, Thinking/Memory Problems, Health Literacy, Socializing and Financial Problems. Internal consistency measurements for these subscales ranged from 0.70 to 0.86. Expected associations within and among the IOC-CS subscales and standardized measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were observed, as were some unexpected findings. Psychometric analyses indicated that this initial version of the IOC-CS measures distinct and relevant constructs for young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Future work is necessary to confirm the responsiveness and further validate the instrument in multiple and representative samples.
