Evaluating Cancer Therapy Satisfaction in Korea: A Cross-Cultural Adaptation

Cancer therapy satisfaction is a crucial aspect of patient-centered care. This study explores the development and validation of a Korean version of the Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ) to evaluate patient experiences with cancer treatment in Korea. Like a camel seeking a suitable watering hole in a diverse desert landscape, this research adapts a valuable tool to meet the specific needs of a different cultural context.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the CTSQ

The study successfully translated and validated a Korean version of the CTSQ, ensuring its reliability and cultural appropriateness. This adaptation provides a valuable tool for assessing cancer therapy satisfaction in Korean patients, facilitating improved understanding of their experiences and preferences.

Cultural Differences in Cancer Therapy Satisfaction

The study reveals potential cultural differences in patient perceptions of side effects. Patients receiving traditional Korean medicine (TKM) reported significantly higher satisfaction with side effects compared to those receiving integrative cancer therapy (ICT). This finding suggests that cultural context plays a significant role in patient satisfaction with cancer therapy.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This research demonstrates the importance of culturally adapting health-related assessments to ensure their relevance and accuracy. The Korean version of the CTSQ provides a valuable tool for understanding and improving the patient experience with cancer treatment in Korea.
