“…This was a significant work resulting in considerable revisions to the original instruments, in particular to the mammography self-efficacy scale. This may be in part due to the influences of both culture and religion that result in non-applicability of these across different populations seamlessly [20]. While the psychometric properties of the mammography self-efficacy scale were previously evaluated by Hashemian in Sabzevar [20], the current work was conducted in Sanandaj that is a city in the western Iran with a distinct culture and religion from Sabzevar.…”

“…To date, instruments that have been utilized to evaluate a relationship between self-efficacy and mammography contained statements related to the mammography procedure [13, 18–20]. However, it is necessary for a comprehensive instrument assessing self-efficacy for mammography to cover all the steps involved in the behavior.…”

“…However, assessments of these constructs are not available for use among Iranian women across different cultures. While the psychometric properties of the mammography self-efficacy scale were previously evaluated by Hashemian in Sabzevar [20], the current work was conducted in Sanandaj, a city in the west of Iran, which is culturally and religiously different from Sabzevar. It is expected that cultural and religious factors present in Sanandaj would produce differences in the mammography self-efficacy items than when the scale was administered in Sabzevar [20].…”

BackgroundResearch investigating mammography screening has often reported low mammography self-efficacy and breast cancer fear contribute to underutilization of mammography. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of Champion’s Mammography Self-efficacy Scale (CMSS) and Champion’s Breast Cancer Fear Scale (CBCFS) in a sample of Iranian women.MethodsThe adapted instruments were administered to a community sample of 482 women aged 40 years or older. They inhibited in Sanandaj, Iran. Cronbach’s α coefficients, item-total, and test-retest correlations were used to assess the reliability of the scales. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to assess construct validity.ResultsThe α coefficients for the Farsi 14-item CMSS and 8-item BCFS were .87 and.95, respectively. In terms of the CMSS confirmatory factor analysis, the proportion of x 2/df was 2.4, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.93, Tucker Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.96 providing a strong fit to the data induced by two-factor model. With regard to CBCFS, x 2/df was 86.33, CFI =0.99, and TLI =0.99 supporting one-factor model.ConclusionThe CMSS and CBCFS exhibited strong initial psychometric properties; therefore, they are recommended to understand women’s breast cancer screening behaviors better.

Background: The uptake of cancer screening is significantly associated with participants' health beliefs about cancer screening. Scales measuring health beliefs of cancer screening are available; however, the scales that were developed and validated for the US population may lack cultural appropriateness, which could compromise the reliability and validity of the scales when applied to different ethnic groups or populations.Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize, analyze, and compare the methods used in the cross-cultural instrument adaptation and validation processes of health beliefs about cancer screening. Methods: A systematic review design with narrative methods was used. Electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and PsycINFO, were searched. Results: A total of 18 articles were eligible. Results showed (1) the translation methods included committee translation and back translation, which were further refined by using professional translators, using professional interpreters and/or involving the first author, using bilingual individuals, and involving bilingual investigators; (2) the modification methods included embedded and afterward modification; and (3) the validation methods included testing construct validity, internal consistency reliability, item-total subscale correlations, test-retest reliability, content validity, predictive validity, and face validity. Conclusions: Back translation and afterward modification were most frequently used for translating existing instruments to another language. Validity and reliability were most frequently established by construct validity, content validity, face validity, predictive validity, internal consistency reliability,
