Developing the Short‐Form of Lymphedema Needs Questionnaire for Iranian Breast Cancer Patients

The high factor loadings and the total explained variance of 78.152% support the construct validity of the short questionnaire. Although some items exhibited cross-loadings, the majority loaded strongly on a single factor, indicating good discriminant validity. Providing services according to the needs of patients can be prioritized. Healthcare providers, insurers, and individuals should be better informed about lymphedema, its associated costs, and the importance of implementing appropriate management programs.

Abstract

The high factor loadings and the total explained variance of 78.152% support the construct validity of the short questionnaire. Although some items exhibited cross-loadings, the majority loaded strongly on a single factor, indicating good discriminant validity. Providing services according to the needs of patients can be prioritized. Healthcare providers, insurers, and individuals should be better informed about lymphedema, its associated costs, and the importance of implementing appropriate management programs.
