“…In psychometric stage by EFA, results show that the scale accounted for 56.03% of the variance in the total scores. This rate was better than 48% reported in Ozsoy's study (Ozsoy et al, 2007).…”

“…In this study five factors consisted perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, benefits and self-efficacy which are main constructs of HBM, but in Ozsoy's study five factors were perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, self-efficacy, and health motivation, and there was not perceived benefit questions in Ozsoy's scale (Ozsoy et al, 2007).…”

“…Construct validity of the scale was assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, but in Ozsoy's study only EFA was performed for construct validity (Ozsoy et al, 2007). In psychometric stage by EFA, results show that the scale accounted for 56.03% of the variance in the total scores.…”

“…The colorectal cancer belief scale, developed by combination of questions based on HBM's constructs in previous studies (Rawl et al, 2001;Tiro et al, 2005;Hou, 2007;Ozsoy et al, 2007). This scale included 52 items.…”

“…Jacobs adapted the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale, substituting colon cancer for breast cancer in the wording of the questions and Ozsoy evaluated validity and reliability of this scale for Turkish people. Ozsoy's scale obtained five structure factors which explained 48 per cent of the variance (Ozsoy et al, 2007).…”

Background: It is important to validate scales related to cancer screening beliefs in order to better understand perceptions. The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the colorectal cancer screening belief scale based on Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from 600 persons referred to outpatient laboratory units in Iran through a convenience sampling procedure. In this cross-sectional study, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine construct validity of scale. Results: Through exploratory factor analysis, 52 items of the scale converged to five constructs of HBM with 4 items omission. Construct validity was determined by confirmatory factor analysis through which correlated model was supported. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was obtained as 0.78, which indicates reliability of the scale. Conclusions: The study findings showed that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for measuring HBM constructs about colorectal cancer screening with the fecal occult blood test.Keywords: Colorectal cancer screening beliefs -fecal occult blood test -health belief model -validity -Iran
