In this study, we developed and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Thai Human Papillomavirus Beliefs Scale. The Scale was tested on 386 young women aged 18-24 years in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Content validity of the Scale was evaluated by a panel of experts, construct validity was determined using exploratory factor analysis, and reliability was assessed for stability and internal consistency. Factor analysis provided empirical support for the existence of four factors, which accounted for 67.7% of the total variance: perceived susceptibility, perceived seriousness, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. Cronbach's α reliability coefficients for the four subscales ranged from 0.59 to 0.86. Factors predicting intention to receive the papillomavirus vaccine were perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers. The Thai Human Papillomavirus Beliefs Scale demonstrated promising psychometric properties, indicating that it might be a useful instrument for assessing young women's human papillomavirus and cervical cancer-associated beliefs, and for predicting human papillomavirus vaccination intention.
在这项研究中，我们开发并评估了泰国人乳头瘤病毒信念量表的心理测量特性。该量表在泰国清迈的 386 名 18-24 岁的年轻女性中进行了测试。量表的内容效度由专家组进行评估，结构效度通过探索性因素分析确定，稳定性和内部一致性通过可靠性进行评估。因子分析为四个因素的存在提供了经验支持，这四个因素占总方差的 67.7%：感知易感性、感知严重性、感知益处和感知障碍。四个分量表的克朗巴赫 α 可靠性系数在 0.59 到 0.86 之间。预测接受人乳头瘤病毒疫苗意愿的因素包括感知易感性、感知益处和感知障碍。泰国人乳头瘤病毒信念量表表现出良好的心理测量特性，表明它可能是评估年轻女性人乳头瘤病毒和宫颈癌相关信念以及预测人乳头瘤病毒疫苗接种意愿的有用工具。
