| dc.description.abstract | Background- Cancer is becoming the most challenging issue in adult and geriatrics and intervention on patient therapy satisfaction is not commonly seen. The burden of cancer in morbidity and mortality is increasing through time .Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire is the most widely used tool used to assess the satisfaction of cancer therapy in cancer patient. It is used to classify satisfaction for cancer patient as well satisfied or no satisfied. To improve quality of life different type cancer therapy has been given for the patients this can be measured through cancer therapy tools and tools in our context not validated so far. Objective- To test the reliability and validity of Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire and to assess its relation with quality of life (QOL), among cancer patient in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method- Facility based cross sectional study was conducted from August to September 2019 among cancer patients in Black lion Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia. A total of 288 cancer patients were selected using a Stratified random sampling technique. Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire and one other (health-related) QOL questionnaire was administered among 288 randomly selected cancer patients. CTSQ has 3 domains and each domain has different number of Items. The reliability and validity of each Items of CTSQ were evaluated against the full Item of CTSQ. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and cut off point were evaluated to determine validity of CTSQ. The reliability also assessed using cronbaches αcoefficient. Criterion-related validity of the CTSQ was evaluated computing the correlation between total CTSQ score and total score of QOL-BREF. Result: The mean age (±SD) of the participants was 45.7±7.3 years. About 225(78%) females and 63(21%) males participated in the study. Cronbaches α value of full CTSQ tool was found 0.95.The overall accuracy of CTSQ was 0.89(95 % CI, 0.82%-0.96%), p< 0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of CTSQ using established cut of point was 92.3% and 83.6% respectively. The overall cancer therapy satisfaction was found to be 80.6%. Conclusion: CTSQ was valid and reliable to identify cancer therapy satisfaction among cancer patient and also CTSQ was positively correlate with QOL-BREF .CTSQ can be applied to measure cancer therapy in the Ethiopian contex | en_US |
