Family members experience high levels of distress. Therefore, screening for cancer-specific distress among family members of people with cancer is important but relatively unexplored. This cross-sectional study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of a screening tool for family members of people with cancer. We examined the usefulness of the emotional thermometers burden version (ET-BV) in detecting caregiver emotional distress. The ET-BV is a simple multidomain visual analogue scale distributed in two major domains: \u201cemotional upset\u201d and \u201cimpact.\u201d A total of 364 cancer patients\u2019 family members completed the ET-BV and Brief Symptom Inventory. Analyses were aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy (receiver operating characteristic) of the ET-BV. A fair to good diagnostic accuracy was achieved for ET-BV. For emotional upset thermometers, a cutoff of \u22655 was determined and for impact thermometers, a cutoff of \u22654 was established. ET-BV seems to be a useful, quick, and simple tool for distress screening in family members of people with cancer. A revision of a specific thermometer is discussed in order to increase ET screening performance and clinical utility. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0163278719857456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,17]],"date-time":"2019-06-17T04:08:17Z","timestamp":1560744497000},"page":"264-269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Visual-Analogue Screening Tool for Assessing Mood and Quality of Daily Life Complications in Family Members of People Living With Cancer: Portuguese Version of the Emotion Thermometers: Burden Version"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5636-4562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Neide P.","family":"Areia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Leicester Cancer Research Centre, University of Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Education Science, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Major","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Azores, Ponta Delgada, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana P.","family":"Relvas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Education Science, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0163278719857456","first-page":"1","author":"Areia N.
