Summary
A specific scale allowing the measure of anxiety of patients with protate cancer has been designed and validated but the French version needs to be validated. This study aims at validating the French translation of this scale.
Detailed description
The psychological difficulties encountered by patients with prostate cancer are widely known. There are, however, problems in the identification of certain disorders that require appropriate psychological management. In order to diagnose patients with anxiety more finely, a prostate cancer-specific anxiety measurement scale (MAX-PC) was developed and validated. This scale includes three sub-dimensions: anxiety related to prostate cancer, anxiety related to the PSA assessment and fear of recurrence. This scale generally has good psychometric properties which are found in different populations and in different countries. The dimensions of the MAX-PC correlate with other anxiety measurement scales such as Beck or HADS, but do not show redundancy: it captures a specific anxiety related to the experience of patients with prostate cancer. To date, this sclae is not validated in French, and its use in the frame of clinical trials or in routine practice require a first validation.
