Abstract
The purpose of this study was to developmentally and psychometrically validate the cervical cancer prevention questionnaire (CPCC-16) based on Theory of Planned Behavior in Chilean women. The patient sample was 967 women. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate factor structure, Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency and t-test for criteria validity. The development and validation of the questionnaire resulted in six factors with 16 items, demonstrating a bi-factorial structure. Cronbach’s alpha was higher than 80 in the questionnaire and its factors. To generate a valid and reliable questionnaire that measures, under a theory of behavior, more than one preventive behavior in cervical cancer is an important advancement that fills a gap in nursing research.
