A POMS short form for cancer patients: psychometric and structural evaluation
Open accessAbstract
The internal consistency, validity, and factor structure of the Shacham shortened version (37 items) of the 65‐item profile of mood states (POMS) were examined with a sample of 428 cancer patients who were awaiting bone marrow transplantation. Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.78 to 0.91 were obtained for each of the six subscales of the POMS‐short form (POMS‐SF) and for the total 37‐item scale. Correlations with the CES‐D, the Self‐Rated Karnofsky, the MOS SF‐20 Physical Functioning, and the Bradburn Positive and Negative Affect Scales provided evidence of the convergent and discriminant validity of the POMS‐SF. Results of a confirmatory factor analysis were supportive of the 6‐factor interpretation of the POMS items in the 37‐item version of the POMS. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
