Abstract
The Cancer Behaviour Inventory–Brief Version was designed to assess cancer-coping self-efficacy in clinical and research settings where minimising patient burden is essential. However, there is no evidence of its longitudinal validity. Although widely used in cancer research, the lack of evidence for longitudinal invariance significantly undermines its validity in studies spanning multiple time points. Establishing longitudinal invariance enables valid comparisons over time, enhancing our confidence in applying it in longitudinal research.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Advanced Nursing (JAN) contributes to the advancement of evidence-based nursing, midwifery and healthcare by disseminating high quality research and scholarship of contemporary relevance and with potential to advance knowledge for practice, education, management or policy.
All JAN papers are required to have a sound scientific, evidential, theoretical or philosophical base and to be critical, questioning and scholarly in approach. As an international journal, JAN promotes diversity of research and scholarship in terms of culture, paradigm and healthcare context. For JAN’s worldwide readership, authors are expected to make clear the wider international relevance of their work and to demonstrate sensitivity to cultural considerations and differences.
