Turkish translation and adaptation of Champion's Health Belief Model Scales for breast cancer mammography screening

Abstract

It can be used to provide data about healthcare practices required for mammography screening and breast cancer prevention. This scale will show nurses that nursing intervention planning is essential for increasing Turkish women's participation in mammography screening.

Maltese Translation and Adaptation of Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale and the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire for Breast Screening Among Maltese Women

“…In terms of reliability, lower values indicate no internal consistency of the tool (0.00 ≤ α ˂ 0.40 not reliable, 0.40 ≤ α ˂ 0.60 low reliability, 0.60 ≤ α 0.80 high reliability, 0.80 ≤ α ˂ 1 very high reliability) (Yilmaz & Sayin, 2014;Buyukozturk, 2012;Tekindal, 2009)…”

“…This ensures that conceptual equivalence and cultural appropriateness are achieved . This group of screened/non-screened women tested the instrument's face validity and determined its cultural appropriateness and the accuracy of the translation, similar to the undertaken Turkish process (Yilmaz & Sayin, 2014). The researcher read the translated text aloud to the participants, following which each item was scored on a five-point scale.…”

“…Items were answered on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), similarly used in other studies (Yilmaz & Sayin, 2014;Huaman, Kamimura-Nishimura, Kanamori, Siu & Lescano, 2011).…”

“…Figure 1 illustrates the pathway in which the translation and adaptation of the above scales was undertaken, based on published methods (Yilmaz & Sayin, 2014;Champion, 1999Champion, , 1984. Step 3: Reconciliation session…”

“…An estimation of stability is commonly assessed by a test-retest reliability analysis, where the questionnaire is given to the same person or set of respondents, in the same way, on two different occasions, usually with an interval of two to six weeks (Yilmaz & Sayin, 2014). In this study, a convenience sample of 15 bilingual women, aged 50-60 years, were recruited by the researcher from the breast screening centre to assess test-retest reliability of the Maltese and English subscales respectively.…”
