要旨：【目的】終末期がん患者に対する作業療法士の実践自己評価尺度（Self-Rating Scale of Occupational Therapists for Terminal Cancer patients；以下，SROT-TC）の基準関連妥当性を検討すること．【方法】終末期がん患者に関わる作業療法士を対象とし，郵送法にてSROT-TCと対象者の作業療法実施状況と作業機能状況について回答を求めた．【結果】有効回答数は106通であり，SROT-TCと作業療法実施状況に中等度以上の有意な相関を認めた（r＝0.417〜0.523）．【結論】SROT-TCは一定以上の基準関連妥当性がある．

　Purpose: This study examined the criterion-related validity of the Self-Rating Scale of Occupational Therapists for Terminal Cancer patients (SROT-TC). Methods: Occupational therapists working with patients with terminal cancer were the participants of this study. External criteria were occupational therapists' implementation status of occupational therapy and Classification and Assessment of Occupational Dysfunction. The SROT-TC and the external criteria were distributed to all the participants through postal mail. Results: A total of 106 valid responses were received. A moderate significant correlation was observed between SROT-TC and implementation status of occupational therapy (r=0.417-0.523). Conclusion: This study showed that the SROT-TC has a certain level of criterion-related validity.
