validation of Korean-Cancer Coping Questionnaire(K-CCQ)

This study is performed to validate Korean-Cancer Coping Questionnaire(K-CCQ). To do so, we at first translated England-Cancer Coping Questionnaire(Moorey, Frampton, & Greer, 2003), and then added 10 items to measure cancer patients' coping style more accurately and consistently. The data were collected from 106 cancer patients, that is, 41 breast patients visiting National Cancer Center and 65 several kinds of cancer patients being treated at Anam Hospital of Korea University. We choose 26 items through item-total correlation, and then performed factor analysis. The results are quite similar to those of Moorey et al.(2003). K-CCQ is composed of individual coping scale and interpersonal coping scale, and the individual scale is subdivided by positive reframing, coping, and planning. The reliabilities of the K-CCQ's subscales are almost high level ranging from .72 to .90. In addition, we analyzed correlation between K-CCQ and Coping Strategy(Holahan & Moos, 1987) to validate K-CCQ. The correlations of subscales of K-CCQ with active-cognitive strategy and active-behavioral strategy are significantly meaningful, but the correlation of K-CCQ with avoidance strategy is not significant. Also, the correlations of K-CCQ's subscales with EORTC QLQ-C30 are almost low.
