Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Sexual Health Education Needs Assessment Scale for Breast Cancer Patients and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Guided by Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and knowledge, belief, and practice theory, an initial scale was formed through literature review, semi-structured interviews and Delphi expert consultation. Through cognitive interviews with 9 patients, the scale was further revised and improved to form a clinical trial version. From December 2021 to September 2022, 397 breast cancer patients from 9 ClassⅢ hospitals in 6 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions were selected by convenience sampling to conduct a questionnaire survey, test the reliability and validity of the scale and grade it.Results:The Sexual Health Education Needs Assessment Scale for Breast Cancer Patients included four dimensions and 32 items in total. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of four common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 72.258%. The content validity index of the scale was 0.865, and the content validity index of each item was 0.929 to 1.000. The correlation coefficients between each dimension of the scale and the total scale were 0.789 to 0.956, and the correlation coefficients between dimensions were 0.635 to 0.863. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.979, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension were 0.897 to 0.969. The half reliability of the total scale was 0.941, and the half reliability of each dimension was 0.851 to 0.946. The total score of the scale was 32 to 160, with 32 to 77 being at a low level, 78 to 117 being at a medium level, and 118 to 160 being at a high level.Conclusions:The developed Sexual Health Education Needs Assessment Scale for Breast Cancer Patients has good reliability and validity, and is suitable for breast cancer patients' sexual health education needs assessment.
