- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Thyroid cancer survivors are going to be examined via cognitive interviews for the following aspects: comprehensibility of the items, how acceptable the items are, identification of misunderstandings or inconsistencies and their correction. The validation of the THYCA-QoL is ensured through the validation of the known questionnaire SF 36, PHQ-D and two QoL questionnaires (UQ QoL and QoL thyroid questionnaire). This happens at only one time point, on which the researcher goes to the nuclear medical ward and asks the patients to join the study. If the patient agrees to the conditions of the study, a individual appointment is made to do the cognitive pre-test. <br>
