Validity and Reliability Study of Patient Satisfaction Level- Questionnaire (UNS-BsQ8) for Breast Fibroadenoma Patient after Surgery

Abstract

<jats:p>Background: This study aimed to develop a patient satisfaction level-questionnaire (UNS-BsQ8) for breast fibroadenoma patients in Indonesia and to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire by using established models. Methods: A total of 83 women with breast fibroadenoma completed the questionnaire after their surgeries. We assessed the construct validity and the reliability by referring to its Pearson’s r table value and Cronbach’s α coefficient. Results: It showed that 83 subjects completed all 8 questions of the instrument between January 1–31, 2020; the Pearson’s value of all items of the UNS-BsQ8 with the lowest value of r = .398 in question number 8, followed by r = .411 in question number 7 with an r-value of r &gt; .1584 indicated that these questions were valid. Cronbach’s α coefficient of &gt; .60 indicated questionable internal consistency. Conclusions: The result of this study proves that UNS-BsQ8 is accepted, valid, and reliable. It can be used for future investigation, especially in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery.</jats:p>

Video-Assisted Breast Surgery (VABS) and Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VABB) for Fibroadenoma Mammae on Patients’ Satisfaction: A Preliminary Study

“…There are numerous types of questionnaire to assess the quality of life of breast cancer patients, such as RAND SF-36 that had been validated in Indonesian version (Ramadhanty et al, 2019). However, there is no questionnaire yet to assess fibroadenoma patient's satisfaction level after surgery (Putra et al, 2020).…”

“…The questionnaire was also designed a combination of ordinal scaled (grading scale from 1-poor to 5-excellent). Final scoring was carried out by summing up the individual item scores to produce a range of 8 to 40. with higher scores representing greater satisfaction (Putra et al, 2020). In this study, we did minor modification on question number 3 from "The cost of surgery is expensive" to " The cost of surgery is not expensive" by adding the world "not" to adjust that practically, patients who were satisfied have the tendency to agree that the cost is not that expensive to get a satisfying result.…”
