The Distress thermometer is a self-report measure to assess the level of distress patients may have experienced. The scale measures distress on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being no distress and 10 being extreme distress. This is an extensively used and validated measure in cancer patients.23 , 24 It has a problem list which is an inventory of issues that could have attributed to the distress experienced. The problem list was modified for purposes of this study wherein the patient answered “yes/no” to indicate the type of problem experienced since the pandemic.
