摘要
Cancer programs need to monitor their performance related to providing patient information. A new measurement tool was designed to gather indicator data concerning the importance of selected information topics and satisfaction with what information they had received. Based on a mixed sample of 540 cancer patients, the reliability of the importance and satisfaction scales were acceptable (Cronbach's alpha 0.89 and 0.92, respectively). The newly designed Cancer Information Importance/Satisfaction Scale is a reliable measure and can be easily applied as a performance indicator.
