Death Preparedness Scale for Advanced Cancer Patients: Instrument Development and Psychometric Properties
The death preparedness scale for advanced cancer patients that we developed demonstrates good reliability and validity, and can be used to comprehensively assess the death preparedness level of advanced cancer patients. Additionally, with the subscale scoring system, healthcare professionals can provide targeted interventions in specific areas of death preparedness for patients, thereby improving both the quality of life and quality of death for advanced cancer patients.
