Abstract

Objective: To translate the Gynecological Cancers Awareness Scale (GCAS) into Chinese and validate its reliability and validity in assessing awareness of gynecologic cancer prevention and treatment among women in China.

Design: Descriptive psychometric study.

Setting: People's Republic of China.

Participants: Adult women who lived in China (N = 434).

Methods: We conducted the research in two phases. Phase 1 involved the translation and adaptation of the GCAS into Chinese. Phase 2 involved administering a cross-sectional survey using an electronic questionnaire.

Results: The translated GCAS had a Cronbach's α of .92, an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.83, and an adequate content validity index. We used exploratory factor analysis to identify four factors that explained 64.01% of the variance and found that most fit indices in the confirmatory factor analysis were acceptable.

Conclusion: Among our participants, the Chinese version of the GCAS was a valid and reliable tool for assessing awareness of gynecologic cancer risk, prevention, and treatment among women in China.

期刊介绍： JOGNN is a premier resource for health care professionals committed to clinical scholarship that advances the health care of women and newborns. With a focus on nursing practice, JOGNN addresses the latest research, practice issues, policies, opinions, and trends in the care of women, childbearing families, and newborns. This peer-reviewed scientific and technical journal is highly respected for groundbreaking articles on important - and sometimes controversial - issues. Articles published in JOGNN emphasize research evidence and clinical practice, building both science and clinical applications. JOGNN seeks clinical, policy and research manuscripts on the evidence supporting current best practice as well as developing or emerging practice trends. A balance of quantitative and qualitative research with an emphasis on biobehavioral outcome studies and intervention trials is desired. Manuscripts are welcomed on all subjects focused on the care of women, childbearing families, and newborns.
