Comprehensive needs assessment tool for informal cancer caregivers (CNAT-ICs): Instrument development and cross-sectional validation study
The Sinhala version of CNAT is shown to have adequate validity and reliability in assessing the comprehensive and multidimensional/unmet needs of informal caregivers of patients with advanced cancer (S-CNAT-ICs). It would be a helpful tool to determine the unmet needs of ICs and guide future interventions to meet those needs and enhance or maintain the quality of life for patients and their informal caregivers.
