“…The total score of the scale is obtained by summing the scores of all items, where higher scores refer to higher self-efficacy in coping with cancer. In the Portuguese validation study, the Cronbach alpha was 0.88 (Pereira et al, 2021) while in the present study it was 0.86, confirming high internal consistency.…”

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Perceived Ability to Cope With Trauma Scale in Portuguese Patients With Breast Cancer

et al. 2022

BackgroundThe impact of a cancer diagnosis may be traumatic, depending on the psychological resources used by patients. Appropriate coping strategies are related to better adaptation to the disease, with coping flexibility, corresponding to the ability to replace ineffective coping strategies, demonstrated to be highly related with self-efficacy to handle trauma. The Perceived Ability to Cope with Trauma (PACT) scale is a self-rated questionnaire that assesses the perceived ability to cope with potentially traumatic events, providing a measure of coping flexibility. The current study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the PACT Scale in Portuguese patients with breast cancer.MethodsThe study included 172 patients recently diagnosed with early breast cancer. Participants completed a Portuguese version of the PACT scale, and instruments of self-efficacy for coping with cancer (Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief Version—CBI-B), of quality of life (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30—QLQ-C30), and of psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—HADS) that were used as convergent and divergent measures, thus assessing construct validity. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test the factor structure of the Portuguese version of PACT scale and reliabilities were examined.ResultsResults from the CFA confirmed the two-factor structure, consistent with the original Forward and Trauma focus subscales. The two subscales demonstrated high internal consistencies. Convergent and divergent validities were confirmed: the PACT scale was related to high self-efficacy to cope with cancer (CBI-B), to high perceived quality of life (QLQ-C30), and to low psychological distress (HADS).DiscussionOverall, the current results support and replicate the psychometric properties of the PACT scale. The scale was found to be a valid and reliable self-reported measure to assess Portuguese breast cancer patients regarding beliefs about their capabilities in managing the potentially traumatic sequelae of cancer. The PACT is a simple and brief measure of coping flexibility to trauma, with potential relevance for application in clinical and research settings.

“…This instrument assesses self-efficacy for coping in cancer patients. 40,41 It consists of 12 items on a Likert scale from 1 (not at all confident) to 9 (totally confident), where higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy in treating cancer-related tasks. In the original version, the Cronbach's alpha (α) was .84 and in the Portuguese validation was .88.…”

Background: Quality of life (QoL) is severely affected by breast cancer (BC) and its treatment, particularly chemotherapy treatment. Psychological morbidity, illness perceptions, and self-efficacy for coping are important variables that impact QoL during the treatment of BC. The impact of cortisol on QoL has been poorly studied.Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the contributing variables to QoL in women with BC receiving adjuvant chemotherapy, as well as the moderating role of cortisol in the relationship between treatment adverse effects and QoL. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 112 women with BC undergoing chemotherapy who answered the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality of Life Questionnaire, the Supplementary Questionnaire Breast Cancer Module, the Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief Version, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. In addition, salivary cortisol concentrations were also assessed. Results: The strongest contributor to lower QoL was treatment adverse effects. The illness perception and the cancer stage also contributed to a lower QoL. Nadir cortisol moderated the relationship between adverse effects and QoL. Conclusion:Breast cancer chemotherapy and illness perceptions, even at the beginning of treatment, showed a great impact on QoL. Implications for Practice: It is important during chemotherapy to assess women's illness perceptions, as well as their stress levels to help women cope with the stress associated with treatment adverse effects.Monitoring cortisol is important as cortisol moderated the relationship between adverse effects and QoL. For those women struggling with stress, a reference to a mental health provider is warranted.

“…Dentre essas evidências, destaca-se a utilização da autoeficácia como uma ferramenta importante para a assistência oncológica, desempenhando um papel crucial no fortalecimento das crenças pessoais do paciente, na autogestão da saúde, na promoção da adesão ao tratamento, no estabelecimento de expectativas realistas, no manejo do estresse e no enfrentamento dos sintomas desagradáveis (9)(10)(11)(12)(13) .…”

“…Embora a importância da autoeficácia na área da saúde seja amplamente reconhecida, a disponibilidade de instrumentos específicos para avaliar esse conceito na prática clínica ainda é limitada, especialmente em contextos específicos, como a oncologia (7,9,10,13,17) . No âmbito brasileiro, a ausência de um instrumento adaptado para medir a autoeficácia dos pacientes com câncer representa uma lacuna na assistência a essa população.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as evidências de validade da versão brasileira do Cancer Behavior Inventory - Brief Version. Método: Estudo metodológico, realizado entre os meses de novembro e dezembro de 2021, com 140 pacientes em tratamento oncológico hospitalar em João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Foram realizadas análises psicométricas na versão adaptada, mediante a análise fatorial exploratória e correlação com constructos correlacionados. Resultados: Evidenciou-se um modelo de 2 fatores e 10 itens. A variância acumulada explicou cerca de 61% da variância compartilhada dos itens. Foram observados valores satisfatórios para os fatores nas análises de confiabilidade composta (0,89 e 0,91, respectivamente), consistência interna (0,86 e 0,91, respectivamente) e ORION (0,89 e 0,85, respectivamente). Evidenciaram-se as correlações esperadas da autoeficácia com a qualidade de vida (convergente) e com a ansiedade e depressão (divergente). Conclusão: A versão brasileira do instrumento mostrou evidências de validade, sendo considerada como confiável para avaliar a autoeficácia dos pacientes em tratamento oncológico.
