Swedish Version of the Distress Thermometer: Validity Evidence in Patients With Colorectal Cancer.

Conclusions: These findings provide validity evidence regarding the DT, including the PL. Findings also show that the DT has good potential for screening distress-related practical, family, emotional, and physical problems during the cancer trajectory in Swedish-speaking patients. Additionally, the DT seems to be an effective screening tool to detect patients with poor, moderate, and excellent HRQoL. PMID: 30099372 [PubMed - in process]
