Moreover, the only existing questionnaire in this field contains many items. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a short\u2010form version of this questionnaire.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The questionnaire items were extracted from the Lymphoedema Needs Questionnaire\u2010Breast Cancer (LNQ\u2010<jats:sc>BC<\/jats:sc>). Demographic variables and clinical characteristics were considered separately. Out of 62 items, 24 were selected, and 2 additional questions were included based on feedback from 10 experts. 100 participants with BCRL completed the short\u2010form questionnaire. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed using principal components extraction and varimax rotation, and Cronbach's alpha was calculated for each dimension.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After evaluating the content validity, the instrument's construct validity with 26 items was conducted using EFA. The KMO (Kaiser\u2010Meyer\u2010Olkin) value was equal to 0.879 and Bartlett's sphericity test was significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value &lt;\u20090.001), indicating the data's adequacy and appropriateness to perform EFA. Five extracted dimensions were named: \u201cLymphedema information needs\u201d (5 items), \u201cInformational support, peers\u201d (5 items), \u201cAccess to a lymphedema care specialist\u201d (5 items), \u201cPhysical and daily activities\u201d (7 items) and \u201cFinancial issues and compression garments\u201d (4 items). The level of needs in this study in all dimensions was high (more than 77%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>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\u2010loadings, 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.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cam4.70832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,30]],"date-time":"2025-03-30T20:40:41Z","timestamp":1743367241000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Developing the Short\u2010Form of Lymphedema Needs Questionnaire for Iranian Breast Cancer Patients"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mozhgan","family":"Kazemzadeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics and Information Technology Isfahan University of Medical Sciences  Isfahan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asiie","family":"Olfatbakhsh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Breast Cancer Research Center Motamed Cancer Institute, ACECR  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0085-0115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Dorri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Information Technology Research Center Isfahan University of Medical Sciences  Isfahan Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21660"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40944-022-00613-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7314\/APJCP.2016.17.4.2223"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","first-page":"7","article-title":"The Effect of Complete Decongestive Therapy on Edema Volume Reduction and Quality of Life in Women With Post Breast Surgery Lymph Edema","volume":"8","author":"Angooti Oshnari L.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Iranian Journal of Breast Diseases"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","unstructured":"Committee N.L.N.M.A \u201cPosition Statement of the National Lymphedema Network \u201d2012."},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13643-022-02084-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.15005"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10549-004-2045-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-005-0810-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-019-05101-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/mhealth.2016.07.03"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_12_13_1","first-page":"987","article-title":"Breast Cancer Related Lymphoedema (BCRL): Prevalence and Evaluation of Risk Factors","volume":"10","author":"Srivastava R.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Innovative Journal of Medical and Health Sciences"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_12_14_1","first-page":"115","article-title":"Breast Cancer\u2010Related Lymphedema: Incidence and Risk Factors, Preventive Measures and Treatments","volume":"161","author":"Kedar D.
