Abstract
In Mongolia is a landlocked country, located between China and Russia. In Mongolian Human Development Index (HDI) is 0.737 (2021 HDI) and lower income country, the population around 3.4 million (2022), but among of cancer rate was 192.2 per 100.000 population which is higher rate than Asian country (164.4) and closer to the world rate (197.6) in 2020. Most common cancer cases are liver (40.1%), stomach (14.14%), lung (8.0%), Esophagus (7.1%), cervix (6.6%) in Mongolia (WHO2019). The cancer patients frequently experienced low quality of life (QOL) because of side- effects of treatment and indicate many symptoms and losses of physical, emotional, social and functional well-being. The standard questionnaire of The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G, v4) translated reliable and validated for in Mongolian version on ordered to provide an appropriate tool for assessing QOL of cancer patients. We translated and cross-culturally adapted the FACT-G in a population of Mongolian cancer patients. A total of 270 patients (mean age 56 years) were studied for psychometric properties of the FACT-G. Our results indicated with high inter-factor correlations and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient 0.717-0.890). FACT –G scale demonstrated strong convergent validity when with correlated with the Functional status measurement with the COOP/WONCA charts (The Darthmouth Functional Health Assessment). In this study, as a result of evaluating the psychometric properties of the FACT-G scale. FACT-G scale was demonstrated as reliable and valid as a tool can be used in research and clinical practice to assess the QOL Mongolian cancer patients.
