Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Patient Distress
- timeFrame
- Up to 6 weeks
- description
- Psychological distress will be assessed using the Brief Symptom Inventory-18. The Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18) is an 18-item scale widely used to measure psychological distress. The BSI-18 yields a total score (Global Severity Index), which is a measure of overall psychological distress. Raw scores are converted to t-scores (range 0-100) based on gender-specific normative data from cancer patient populations. A t-score of 50 is equal to the mean of the population. Higher scores represent greater levels of distress. The BSI-18 provides a clinical case-rule classifying respondents who have a t-score score ≥ 63 on the GSI as having clinically significant symptoms. Other studies have used a lower cutoff, with a GSI t-score ≥ 57 recommended as a cutoff for clinically significant symptoms in a study of cancer patients.
