Provision of supportive care to meet patients' individual needs is instrumental to enhancing their quality of life. We therefore need an appropriate assessment tool to measure such needs. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric property of the Japanese version of the Short-form Supportive Care Needs Survey questionnaire (SCNS-SF34-J). ⋯ The results indicated that SCNS-SF34-J is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the supportive care needs of Japanese cancer patients.
