AB  - OBJECTIVE: The Modified Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-M36) scale was 
      developed for medically ill, older individuals in 2008 (Toronto, Canada, 
      department of psychosocial oncology and palliative care, Princess Margaret 
      Hospital). The scale has displayed satisfactory reliability and validity. This 
      study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of 
      Modified Experiences in Close Relationships (K-ECR-M36) questionnaire in female 
      patients with breast cancer. METHODS: A total of 199 post-operative breast cancer 
      patients completed the K-ECR-M36 as well as other psychological measures 
      including the Revised Adult Attachment Scale (RAAS), World Health Organization 
      Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and Hospital Anxiety and 
      Depression Scale (HADS). The reliability and validity of the K-ECR-M36 were 
      evaluated. Explorative factor analysis was conducted to identify the factor 
      structure of the K-ECR-M36. RESULTS: The K-ECR-M36 showed good internal 
      consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.87) and reasonable test-retest reliability (r=0.752, 
      p<0.001). The total as well as avoidance and anxiety subscales demonstrated 
      construct validity with the RAAS, the HADS, and the WHOQOL-BREF. Factor analysis 
      revealed four-factor structure which was originally proposed by Brennan, Clark, 
      and Shaver (1998). CONCLUSION: These findings support that the K-ECR-M36 has 
      satisfactory reliability, validity and factor structure among patients with 
      breast cancer.
