Translation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Chinese Version of the Gynecological Cancers Awareness Scale
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.
