Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to verify the factor structure of the Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief COPE) inventory among spouses of women with gynecological cancer.

Design: A descriptive study was conducted involving 351 spouses of gynecological cancer patients admitted to a hospital.

Setting: Gynecological ward of a tertiary hospital of China.Main Outcome Measure: Confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed to test the factor structure of Brief COPE among participants.

Results: The results showed that the soundness of data fitting three previous models of spouse caregivers were poor. A new three-factor structure was identified: avoidant coping (12 items), active coping (8 items), and seeking support (4 items), with four original items dropped.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that the new three-factor structure has good construct validity, which can be used to measure the coping strategies of spouses of women with gynecological cancer.

妇科癌症患者配偶简短COPE的因素结构。

目的：本研究的目的是验证妇科癌症患者配偶对所经历问题的简短应对倾向（Brief COPE）量表的因素结构。设计：对351名住院妇科癌症患者的配偶进行描述性研究。单位：中国某三级医院妇科病房。主要结局测量：采用验证性因子分析和探索性因子分析，检验参与者Brief COPE的因子结构。结果：以往三种配偶照顾者模型的数据拟合健全性较差。结果发现回避应对（12项）、主动应对（8项）和寻求支持（4项）是新的三因素结构，原有的4项被删除。结论：新的三因素结构具有较好的构效度，可用于测量妇科癌症患者配偶的应对策略。
