| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop a Japanese version of the Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS) for patients with cancer, to confirm its validity and reliability, and to elucidate the features of Self-Perceived Burden in elderly patients with cancer.
Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the 18-item version (α=0.96), 9-item abbreviation (α=0.93) of the scale consisted of a single main factor. The convergent correlations of the SPBS with the FACIT-Sp and GHQ-12 scales showed significant correspondence. As a characteristic of elderly patients with cancer, performance status was significantly related to the SPBS.
