Validity and reliability of Cervical Cancer Awareness Measure (Cervical CAM) Indonesian version

Abstract

Objectives

To identify the validity and reliability of Cervical Cancer Awareness Measure in Indonesian version (Cervical CAM).

Method

This study was psychometric testing study consist of construct and content validities, and internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Validity testing with content validity. Construct validity known-group was tested on respondents with two backgrounds, medical (n = 12) and non-medical (n = 25). Two reliability tests used internal consistency (n = 155), and test–retest reliability (n = 30). Test–retest testing is done twice with time intervals between tests for 1 week.

Results

The value of validity testing with content validity resulted in the range 0.1–1. The group with a medical background had a higher average total value compared to non-medical background [t(12) = 28.29 vs t(25) = 19.03, respectively]. The value of Cronbach's α = 0.606 on reliability testing, meanwhile, the average value of ICC on test–retest reliability was 0.410.

Conclusion

Cervical CAM is declared valid and reliable to measure a person's awareness of cervical cancer.
