Needs and health-related quality of life domains relevant to people in Europe with advanced cancer in need of palliative care
These findings emphasise the predominance of the psychological function domain in cancer patients requiring palliative care, including cancer-related anxiety and distress, coping mechanisms, control and decision-making, and fearing and expecting death. Additionally, clinical management unmet needs were identified in health care, information and communication, and end-of-life settings (home vs. hospital)
Evaluating the Involvement of People With Cancer and Informal Caregivers in the Development Process of a New Set of Quality of Life Questionnaires
INTRODUCTION: There is a general need for sharing practical examples of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) within the research field to learn from and inspire. The aim of this article is to describe our process evaluation of PPI within the development process of the EUonQoL-Kit, a new set of quality of life questionnaires aimed at people with (past experience of) cancer. METHODS: Five co-researchers (people with cancer and informal caregivers) …

Social inequalities in mental and physical health derived from the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain beyond Sars-CoV-2 infection
Prevalence of health problems increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in all education groups, but the increase was higher in women and men with a high level of education, suggesting that its impact appeared later in this group. Further analysis on the role of governmental economic aid given to vulnerable people might shed light on this evolution
Reference values of EORTC QLQ-C30, EORTC QLQ-BR23, and EQ-5D-5L for women with non-metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis and 2 years after
These HRQoL reference norms can be useful to interpret the scores of women with non-metastatic breast cancer, comparing them with country-specific reference values for this population
The Inhaler Technique Questionnaire (InTeQ)
There is a need for instruments designed for patients with asthma to self-report their performance of inhaling steps. We aimed to develop an accessible and easy-to-use patient-reported tool for inhaler technique assessment, which could also serve as a training and monitoring resource for any type of inhaler device, and to evaluate its feasibility, validity, and reliability in adults with asthma. The development was based on literature review and …

Adaptation and validation of the Spanish version of the Patient-Oriented Prostate Utility Scale (Porpus)
Assessing quality of life in patients with prostate cancer
Current evidence supports the choice of EPIC, PORPUS or PC-QoL. Attribute-specific EMPRO results facilitate selecting the adequate instrument for every purpose. For longitudinal studies or clinical trials, where responsiveness is the priority, EPIC or PC-QoL should be considered. We recommend the PORPUS for economic evaluations because it allows cost-utility analysis, and EPIC short versions to minimize administration burden

Social inequalities in health among adolescents in a large southern European city

The Employment Precariousness Scale (EPRES) is a newly developed, theory-based, multidimensional questionnaire specifically devised for epidemiological studies among waged and salaried workers. OBJECTIVE: To assess the acceptab…

Explaining the Determinants of Public Support for Cuts in Unemployment Benefits Spending across OECD Countries
This article analyses comparative data for the last half of the 1990s to investigate the determinants of individual and cross-national variation in public support for cuts in unemployment benefits spending. The authors consider public opinion on unemployment benefits retrenchment as a product not only of individual-level characteristics but also of national-level features. With few exceptions, the latter features have been limited by previous stu…
