Abstract

Background and Purpose: The Cancer Rehabilitation Evaluation System-Short Form (CARES-SF) is one of the first self-report measurement tools that addresses problems and rehabilitation needs of patients with cancer. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the CARES-SF for Turkish-speaking patients with cancer. Methods: The Turkish version of the CARES-SF was administered to 300 patients with colorectal, lung, or breast cancer. Results: While the first six factors of the Turkish CARES-SF covered the same spectrum as the original scale's subscales, the present study suggests dividing the original psychosocial factors into two subscales: psychological and social (relatives and friends). Conclusions: This preliminary inquiry on the Turkish CARES-SF confirmed the validity and reliability of the original scale except for the shifting of a few items between subsections.
