PROMIS-2 (Measuring quality of life) - Prinses Máxima Centrum

Who can enter

Parents of children aged 1 to 7 years with cancer
Children and adults aged 8 years and older with cancer
Please note that this study requires that children/parents speak Dutch

Goal

The goal of this study is to determine whether the new PROMIS-questionnaires can accurately measure the quality of life in children with cancer. By "quality of life," we refer to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the children.

Background

To accurately assess the well-being of children with cancer, it is essential to use reliable questionnaires. Before implementing the PROMIS questionnaires at the Prinses Máxima Center, we need to ensure that these tools effectively measure the quality of life.
