Description
Summary:	There is a need for an appropriate instrument to measure the satisfaction of patients about therapeutic textile devices used for breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). A new satisfaction questionnaire about therapeutic textile devices used for BCRL was developed and psychometrically tested. An approach to criterion validity by contrast of hypothesis was made. Different average scores were expected depending on the type of therapeutic textile device: Kinesio taping, compression garment, and multilayer low-stretch bandage. Items were analyzed in nine phases: apparent validity, missing responses, internal consistency, factor analysis, reproducibility, confirmation of factor analysis, contrast of hypothesis, variability, and time for completion. One hundred fifty women were sampled in a consecutive order. A final questionnaire was drafted that fulfilled the validation hypothesis, including 20 items that explored 4 dimensions: mood, patient comfort, patient compliance, and perceived benefits. The total Cronbach's α was 0.87. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.93 for test-retest and 0.91 for inter-rater. Neither ceiling nor floor effects were observed. The average burden for the respondent and interviewer was 5.6 (standard deviation [SD] = 3.8) and 2.2 (SD = 1.3) minutes, respectively. This preliminary analysis supports the content validity, reliability, and validity of construct of the questionnaire.
