“…In the Turkish Health Belief Model Scale [ 26 ], the term “lump” was translated to “kitle” initially and changed to “sert yumrubeze,” a lay-language word that has a similar meaning to “kitle” and would be understood by Turkish women [ 26 ]. In the Maltese Health Belief Model Scale [ 34 ], “mammografija” was changed to “mammogram” and “nipil” was translated to “nipple” because “mammogram” and “nipple” are generally known terms with similar meanings to “mammografija” and “nipil” in Maltese. A similar strategy was used in the study conducted among Hispanic women [ 31 ].…”

Background Modification is an important process by which to adapt an instrument to be used for another culture. However, it is not fully understood how best to modify an instrument to be used appropriately in another culture. Objective This study aims to synthesize the modification strategies used in the cross-cultural adaptation process for instruments measuring health beliefs about cancer screening. Methods A systematic review design was used for conducting this study. Keywords including constructs about instrument modification, health belief, and cancer screening were searched in the PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and PsycINFO databases. Bowling’s checklist was used to evaluate methodological rigor of the included articles. Results were reported using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) approach with a narrative method. Results A total of 1312 articles were initially identified in the databases. After removing duplications and assessing titles, abstracts, and texts of the articles, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria for the study. Based on Flaherty’s cultural equivalence model, strategies used in the modification process included rephrasing items and response options to achieve semantic equivalence; changing subjects of items, changing wording of items, adding items, and deleting items to achieve content equivalence; adding subscales and items and deleting subscales and items to achieve criterion equivalence. Solutions used to resolve disagreements in the modification process included consultation with experts or literature search, following the majority, and consultation with the author who developed the scales. Conclusions This study provides guidance for researchers who want to modify an instrument to be used in another culture. It can potentially give cross-cultural researchers insight into modification strategies and a better understanding of the modification process in cross-cultural instrument adaptation. More research could be done to help researchers better modify cross-cultural instruments to achieve cultural equivalence.

“…Estudos que também utilizaram a consistência interna como análise da confiabilidade relatam achados similares (Amaral et al, 2020;Caetano et al, 2018;Ferreira et al, 2021;Marmarà et al, 2017) O consenso obtido entre os juízes foi tido como satisfatório, atingindo um ponto de corte acima de 75%, como recomendado (Lucian, Rafael;Dornelas, 2015), e corrobora com achados de outros estudos (Ferreira et al, 2021;. Ademais, o nível de conhecimento dos juízes foi fundamental para certificar a relevância e pertinência das atividades geradoras de custo no checklist.…”

Objetivo: desenvolver e validar um checklist de atividades geradoras de custo, da cadeia de frio de conservação de imunobiológicos, na instância municipal. Método: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico(Polit & Yang, 2016)(Polit and Yang 2016)(Polit & Yang, 2016)(Polit & Yang, 2016), com abordagem quantitativa, que utilizou o método e-Delphi modificado para validação das atividades. Participaram 23 juízes entre doutores, mestres e especialistas atuantes nas instâncias estadual, regional e municipal de saúde. Foi calculado o índice de validação de conteúdo e o coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para analisar a consistência interna do checklist. Resultados: O checklist é composto por 7 atividades no componente Transporte e Recebimento, 18 nas atividades no componente Armazenamento e Manuseio e 2 atividades no componente Supervisão e Educação Permanente. Considerando todos os componentes, o índice de validação de conteúdo total do checklist foi 92,3 %. A consistência interna total obteve um valor de coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach de 0,9534. Conclusão: O estudo fornece um checklist de atividades geradoras de custo da instância municipal da CF de conservação de imunobiológicos confiável e de conteúdo válido, que poderá ser útil a gestores no processo de tomada de decisão para alocação de recursos financeiros.

“…To predict reattendance, we used our previously constructed 121-item questionnaire based on Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS-MS) and the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R). The full details of its translation, adaptation and pilot-testing among Maltese women have been described in detail in our prior published paper [29].…”

Background A range of barriers influence women’s uptake to a first breast screening invitation. Few studies however, have examined factors associated with second screening uptake. This study follows Maltese women to explore predictors and behaviours to re-attendance, and to determine if uptake of first invitation to the Maltese Breast Screening Programme (MBSP) is a significant predictor of second screening uptake. Methods A prospective study was conducted to determine factors associated with re-attendance for 100 women invited to the second MBSP round. Records of women’s second attendance to the MBSP were extracted in January 2016 from the MBSP database. Data were analyzed using chi-square tests, Independent Samples t-test, Mann Whitney test, Shapiro Wilk test and logistic regression. Results There were no significant associations for sociodemographic or health status variables with second screening uptake ( p > 0.05), except breast condition (Fisher’s exact test, p = 0.046). Non-attendees at second screening were most unsure of screening frequency recommendations (χ2 = 9.580, p = 0.048). Attendees were more likely to perceive their susceptibility to breast cancer ( p = 0.041), believed breast cancer to be life changing ( p = 0.011) and considered cues to action to aid attendance ( p = 0.028). Non-attendees were in stronger agreement on mammography pain ( p = 0.008) and were less likely to consider cues to action (15.4% non-attendees vs 1.4% attendees) ( p = 0.017 respectively). ‘Perceived barriers’, ‘breast cancer identity’, ‘causes’ and ‘consequences’ were found to be significant predictors of second screening uptake, with ‘perceived barriers’ being the strongest. The inclusion of illness perception items improved the regression model’s accuracy in predicting non-attendance to the second screening round (84.6% vs 30.8%). First screening uptake was found to be a significant predictor of subsequent uptake (OR = 0.102; 95% CI = 0.037, 0.283; p = 0.000). Conclusions Interventions to increase uptake should target first invitees since attending for the first time is a strong predictor of uptake to the second cycle. Further research is required given the small sample. Particular attention should be paid to women who did not respond to their first invite or are unsure or reluctant participants initially.
