Breast Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale for Partners

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

The concept of self-efficacy is a major predictor of physical, psychological, social and overall quality of life (QoL) among breast cancer survivors (BCS). Because survivor and partner outcomes are often linked, it is reasonable to hypothesize that self-efficacy is an important predictor of physical, psychological, social and overall QoL in partners as well. However, this hypothesis has yet to be tested, in part because no scale exists to measure cancer-related self-efficacy in partners. Development and psychometric testing of such a scale is a critical first step in developing a theoretical model predicting QoL in this population. Partners of BCS often report lower QoL compared to partners of healthy women, making them an important focus of research. During the award period, the applicant will follow standard instrument development procedures to develop the Breast Cancer Self-Efficacy Scale for Partners (BCSES-P) and test the scale's psychometric properties using a large and diverse sample of partners of breast cancer survivors.
