Research data were collected from May 25 to August 1, 2022. In data collection, a descriptive information form and Breast Cancer Survivor Self-Efficacy (BCS) scale were used. Language equivalence, content validity, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the scale were performed. Cronbach's α coefficient and item-total score correlation were evaluated to determine the reliability of the scale. For CFA, one of the concordance models of structural equality, LISREL, was used. The mean age of the patients participating in this study was 55.75 ± 11.76 years. The mean time since the first diagnosis was determined as 57.19 ± 63.40 months. As a result of the assessments and analyses conducted, the content validity of the scale was found to be 1.0.
