I am having difficulty in tabulating the answers and with doubts on how to transform the 30 responses in the 4 to 6 items generally described in the results of the published works.

Are you trying to reduce the number of categories when you say transforming?
The following website may help you with the analytics of the survey.

Hi Diana!
Thank you very much for your help!
The reduction of the number of categories is an issue I was not thinking yet, but it is a good idea.
Actually I found that, for instance, Physical functioning refers to questions 1 to 5. But when I calculated the RawScore, I found a negative number. That does not seem right to me...
I have used the EORTC QLQ-C30. The manual of EORTC can help you. Perhaps a negative number of raw score is false.
Thank you, Constantinos!
We are doing the calculations again, following the manual.
I believe this is the official scoring manual. I used this one in my research. Good luck!
Hi Luiz Evaristo Ricci Volpato
it's been a 2 years since you asked this question. now I'm in the same situation ! lol
Could you please tell me how did you calculate the scores at the end? did you use any software or you used the formula which is in the Manual?
soon I will have 40 cancer patients. I guess it will be a bit difficult to calculate score without using software.
And of course I tried to follow spss syntax which is in manual but I couldn't succeed.
I would appreciate if you help me
Dear Parivash Jamrasi,
I realy did not use any specific software, but the Microsoft Excel following the formulas described in the Manual. The papers are submitted but not accepted yet.
With regards,
