Abstract

The purpose of this review was to identify cross-cultural and psychometric characteristics of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Head and neck cancer questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) in various languages. A literature search was performed for original papers in PubMed, EMBASE, and Google scholar electronic databases on validation, psychometric properties of the EORTC-H&N35 questionnaire for patients with head and neck cancer. A total of 17 papers had been reviewed systematically. The studies were conducted in 28 countries and EORTC QLQ-H&N35 questionnaire was validated in 21 different languages. The majority of papers reported high reliability having Cronbach's coefficient above 0.70. Low reliability was reported for senses and speech problems, pain, and less sexuality. Moderate to good convergent validity was found as the correlation coefficient was above 0.40 except for speech problems and social contact trouble. Discrimin ant validity (weak correlations < 0.70) was confirmed in 14 papers. This review provides comprehensive information on cross-cultural and psychometric properties of EORTC QLQ-H&N35 and can be recommended to implement in oncological practice.
