The translation and cross-cultural adaptation comprised the following stages: translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, analysis by a committee of experts, testing of the pre-final version, and definition of the final version. The evaluated measurement properties were: structural validity using factor analysis, test\u2013retest reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), internal consistency using Cronbach\u2019s alpha, and construct validity using the correlations between the QCQ-PC and other questionnaires already validated in Brazil.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Two hundred and twenty-five cancer patients were included for validity analyses, and a subsample of 30 patients was used for test\u2013retest reliability. The most adequate fit indexes were for the short version of the QCQ-PC (SF-QCQ-PC), with two domains and 12 items. There was adequate reliability and internal\u00a0consistency, with values of the ICC\u2009\u2265\u20090.83 and Cronbach\u2019s alpha \u22650.82. There were correlations &gt;\u20090.30 between the SF-QCQ-PC and the Karnofsky Performance Scale, the Palliative Prognostic Index, the sadness domain of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System, the Barthel Index, and all domains related to the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire and the European Organization for Research in the Treatment of Cancer Questionnaire-core.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The short version of the SF-QCQ-PC has acceptable psychometric properties for use in Brazil.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12904-021-00745-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]],"date-time":"2021-03-25T15:03:27Z","timestamp":1616684607000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Short-form quality care questionnaire-palliative care has acceptable measurement properties in Brazilian cancer patients"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Vin\u00edcio","family":"dos Santos Barros","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Bassi-Dibai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Pontes-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"La\u00edla Silva Linhares","family":"Barros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriana Sousa","family":"R\u00eago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cid Andr\u00e9","family":"Fidelis-de-Paula-Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Almir Vieira","family":"Dibai-Filho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"745_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1200\/JGO.2016.005579","volume":"3","author":"ESP de Celis","year":"2017","unstructured":"de Celis ESP, Chavarri-Guerra Y, P.
