Intelligent health management strategies, adaptation, and validation of the SAT-SF questionnaire into Spanish in cancer patients.

Introduction: A sudden cancer diagnosis creates a psycho-emotional and social crisis, making it crucial to manage emotional coping strategies and assess comprehensive health care, addressing both behavioral and practical aspects of patients' daily lives. Although there are instruments that measure strategies for emotional coping, emotional adjustment or post-traumatic growth, we still do not have a questionnaire in Spanish that comprehensively evaluates health self-management.

Aim: This study aims to translate into Spanish and determine the validity and reliability of the Spanish version of the Smart Management Strategy for Health Assessment Tool (SAT-SF) evaluation questionnaire in Peruvian patients with cancer.
