psychological reaction to illness of both the patient and the family caregiver. Construct validity was also achieved through the process of tool
development and item selection based on expert opinion and the review of relevant international recognized tools and research. Further
validation studies are ongoing and planned by the author/s.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
January 2011a: Initial studies using a sample of families of children with cancer who are being seen at the UP-PGH showed relatively lower
reliability in the Medical Resources Subscale. Revaluation of the subscale led the author/s and study investigators to conclude that this
problem may be due to some confusion regarding the 2 items of the subscale. It is likely that the first item was viewed referring to the
availability and access to medical resources in the community, while the second item was viewed as referring to the help being received from
physicians and health care providers in general including help being received in PGH. Based on this, the following modification was made:
the second item of the Medical Resources Subscale will clearly indicate that the item refers to resources in the familys own hometown or
community. Natutulungan kami ng mga doctor, nars, at health workers (We are helped by doctors, nurses and health workers) was
modified to Natutulungan kami ng mga doctor, nars, at health workers sa aming komunidad (We are helped by doctors, nurses and health
workers in our community).
January 2011b: Initial studies using a sample of families of children with cancer using the introductory phrase Simula ng nagkasakit ang isa
sa amin sa pamilya (Ever since a member of our family became sick). The author/s of the tool have suggested that this phrase, or the
phrase Simula ng nagkasakit si ___ (Ever since ___ became sick) for similar populations of patients and families. However, the author/s
also recommend a more generic phrase Kapag may nagkakasakit sa aming pamilya (When someone in our family gets sick), for a more
general population of families.
ADMINISTRATION: The tool can be answered by adults and older children (preadolescents and adolescents); patients and/or family
caregivers. It can be administered in a number of formats, including traditional paper and pencil format (either self-administration or
research-staff interview face to face, telephone, or internet based interview) and electronic formats and Web-based applications.

AVAILABILITY: Permission to use the SCREEM-RES should be obtained from the author/s. The SCREEM-RES is in an early stage of
development. In order to maintain an organized program for further development and ensure appropriate use, use of the SCREEM-RES is
mainly restricted to programmed studies within the SHPM. However, the authors also recognize the severe lack of easily available Filipino
measures to assess family resources. Therefore, the author/s are amenable to the use of the SCREEM-RES in studies outside of SHPM as
long as permission is obtained. Requirements include: submission of program / project / research plan or proposal to the author/s, changes or
modifications to the plan or proposal as required by the author/s; regular updates; citation of the role of the author/s in the program / project /
research, and as co-author; and submission of the final draft of report or paper for suggestions prior to final approval. No fees apply to nonfunded clinical and research programs. No changes or modifications to the content, format, scoring and interpretation of scores of this
assessment tool are allowed by the author/s.
