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) …
Evaluating the use of prior information to individualise start item selection for the EORTC CAT core
Computerized adaptive tests (CATs) provide individualised measurement, using score estimates based on the patient’s prior responses to select the next most informative item. However, as no score estimate is available at the outset, the start item is typically not individualised. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) CAT Core covers 15 health-related quality of life (HRQoL) domains. We explored whether scores from …

Development of standard computerised adaptive test (CAT) settings for the EORTC CAT Core
Aims Computerised adaptive test (CAT) provides individualised patient reported outcome measurement while retaining direct comparability of scores across patients and studies. Optimal CAT measurement requires an appropriate CAT-setting, the set of criteria defining the CAT including start item, item selection criterion, and stop criterion. The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) CAT Core allows for assessing the 14 f…
Development of a diverse set of standard short forms based on the EORTC CAT Core item banks
The suggested short forms allow for simple selection of items particularly relevant for patients with mild, moderate, or severe symptoms, respectively. They facilitate the use of smaller samples without loss of power compared to the QLQ-C30 scales. The suggested short forms may be used as they are or adapted to the specific aims of individual studies/settings
The Effects of Sampling Frequency and Questionnaire Length on Perceived Burden, Compliance, and Careless Responding in Experience Sampling Data in a Student Population
Currently, little is known about the association between assessment intensity, burden, data quantity, and data quality in experience sampling method (ESM) studies. Researchers therefore have insufficient information to make informed decisions about the design of their ESM study. Our aim was to investigate the effects of different sampling frequencies and questionnaire lengths on burden, compliance, and careless responding. Students ( n = 163) rec…
Affective structure, measurement invariance, and reliability across different experience sampling protocols
Experience sampling methodology in mental health research
In the mental health field, there is a growing awareness that the study of psychiatric symptoms in the context of everyday life, using experience sampling methodology (ESM), may provide a powerful and necessary addition to more conventional research approaches. ESM, a structured self‐report diary technique, allows the investigation of experiences within, and in interaction with, the real‐world context. This paper provides an overview of how zoomi…
