Validating the socio-spiritual items of the Utrecht Symptom Diary—4 Dimensional: Content and construct validity
This study confirmed the content and construct validity on the socio-spiritual items of the USD-4D. Hence, the USD-4D is a validated PROM suitable to be structurally used in clinical palliative care to signal, monitor and to go into dialogue about social and spiritual aspects of patients' values, wishes, and needs.
