The survey questionnaire that our team has designed aims to gather insights into the clinical use of a therapeutic intervention in oncology / palliative care settings. The questionnaire contains both open and close ended questions. Our aim is obviously not to measure outcome measures for clinical assessment / diagnosis or screening purpose. I will though be pilot testing the questionnaire on a small sample, to identify and to eliminate potential problems.
I am well aware of validity and reliability testing measures, my quandary is - do I need to do it?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.
PS the study's aim was to gather descriptives (cross-sectional snapshot) and NOT draw inference or generalise findings
