Abstract

Background: Beliefs of women play a very important role in efficacy of screening for cervical cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate their points of view using appropriate tools with suitable validity and reliability. It seems that the Pap Smear Belief Questionnaire (PSBQ) can assess the attitudes and beliefs of women towards screening for Pap smear. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate cross-cultural adaptation of beliefs regarding cervical cancer screening in Iranian women. Method: In the present study, the cross-cultural adaptation was investigated in 318 married participants. Following the translation and re-translation processes of PSBQ, approval by author, and obtaining the views of the experts as well as participants, the face and content validities of questionnaire were determined qualitatively. Moreover, the construct validity was affirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The tool reliability was analyzed by internal consistency and test-retest methods. Results: The construct validity of the questionnaire had four subscales (exam-related factors, benefits, barriers, and vulnerability). Cronbach's alpha was obtained as 0.93 and the intracluster correlation coefficient was 0.98, indicating the reliability of the Persian version of this questionnaire. Implications for Practice: The Persian version of PSBQ had an acceptable validity and reliability among the Iranian female population. This reliable instrument can be used to assess the existing status, in addition to study the effectiveness of breast cancer screening beliefs.

伊朗妇女巴氏涂片信念问卷的跨文化适应和心理测量评估

背景:妇女的信念对宫颈癌筛查的效果起着非常重要的作用。因此，有必要使用适当的有效度和信度合适的工具来调查他们的观点。巴氏涂片信念问卷(PSBQ)似乎可以评估妇女对巴氏涂片检查的态度和信念。目的:本研究旨在评估伊朗妇女对宫颈癌筛查信念的跨文化适应。方法:对318名已婚人士进行跨文化适应调查。经过PSBQ的翻译和再翻译、作者审定、专家和参与者的意见，定性地确定了问卷的面貌和内容效度。并通过探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析对构念效度进行了验证。采用内一致性法和重测法对刀具可靠性进行了分析。结果:问卷的构念效度有四个分量表(考试相关因素、益处、障碍和脆弱性)。Cronbach’s alpha为0.93，聚类内相关系数为0.98，表明波斯语版问卷具有信度。对实践的启示:波斯语版PSBQ在伊朗女性人群中具有可接受的效度和信度。这种可靠的仪器可以用来评估现有的状况，以及研究乳腺癌筛查的有效性信念。
