    This study developed valid scales for the Health Belief Model (HBM) using breast self-examination frequency as the main focus. The validated scales measure susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, barriers, and health motivation.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Behavior Research
    • Psychometrics
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a widely used framework for understanding health behaviors.
    • Developing valid and reliable scales is crucial for accurately testing HBM constructs.
    • Breast self-examination (BSE) is a key preventive health behavior targeted by HBM interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate scales measuring key constructs of the Health Belief Model.
    • To assess the reliability and validity of scales related to breast self-examination frequency.
    • To provide measurement tools for future research on the Health Belief Model and BSE.

    Main Methods:

    • Scale development and validation using breast self-examination frequency as the dependent variable.

  • Factor analysis and multiple regression were employed for construct validity and theory testing.
  • Cronbach's Alpha and Pearson r correlations were used to assess scale reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • Scales were successfully developed and demonstrated validity and reliability.
    • The constructs of susceptibility, seriousness, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and health motivation were found to be measurable.
    • The developed scales provide a reliable means to assess HBM constructs in relation to BSE.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully created valid and reliable scales for core Health Belief Model constructs.
    • These scales can be utilized in future research to better understand and predict breast self-examination behavior.
    • The findings support the utility of the HBM in guiding interventions for preventive health practices.
