[The reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire].

Orvosi Hetilap 2018 November
INTRODUCTION: Interdisciplinary studies confirm that surgical fear experienced by patients can have a substantial effect on the outcome of the surgery and the healing process after surgery.

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire in cancer patients.

METHOD: 149 patients were assessed using the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Visual Analogue Scale and the Surgical Fear Questionnaire.

RESULTS: The scale showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach-alfa = 0.878; 0.885). The Surgical Fear Questionnaire scores moderately correlated with anxiety, depression and anticipated pain after surgery.

CONCLUSION: The reliability and validity of the Hungarian version of the Surgical Fear Questionnaire in the sample were excellent. The questionnaire turned out to be a useful psychometric tool in the measurement of surgical fear. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(47): 1988-1993.
