Fear of breast cancer has been inversely associated with participation in screening. However, investigators have generally used only one item or global scales to measure fear. This report describes development of a fear scale specific to breast cancer. Data from a large study involving mammography adherence were used to test the breast cancer fear scale for validity and reliability. Construct validity was verified through factor analysis and regression analysis predicting mammography. All items loaded on a single factor and theoretical relationships were verified by linear and logistic regression. The Cronbach alpha for the scale was.91.
对乳腺癌的恐惧与参与筛查呈负相关。然而，研究人员通常仅使用一个项目或整体量表来衡量恐惧。本报告描述了一种专门针对乳腺癌的恐惧量表的开发过程。来自一项涉及乳房X光检查依从性的大型研究的数据被用于测试乳腺癌恐惧量表的有效性和可靠性。通过因子分析和预测乳房X光检查的回归分析验证了结构效度。所有项目都加载在一个单一因子上，并且通过线性和逻辑回归验证了理论关系。该量表的克朗巴哈系数为0.91。
