Abstract Background The assessment of needs for cancer care is a critical step in providing high quality care and achieving cancer patients and families satisfaction. Instruments can be used to assess needs and guide cancer care planning. This study discusses the importance of the needs assessment relationships between needs satisfaction and quality of life and reviews the assessment instruments of needs experienced by cancer patients and their families. Methods A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE and CANCERLIT data bases. Instruments were evaluated based on their conceptual and measurement models as well as their demonstrated reliability and validity. The authors also sought information pertaining to instruments burden of administration and responsiveness. Measures compromised by a lack of published psychometric description were not included. Results This search identified 17 patient needs assessment instruments and seven family needs assessment instruments. The development and psychometric proprieties of most of these instruments were well documented. However data on their responsiveness and burden of administration were scarce. .
