摘要AIMS
To translate the Powe Fatalism Inventory (PFI) from English to Nepali and to examine the psychometric properties of the Nepali version of the Powe Fatalism Inventory (PFI - N).
METHODS
The Powe Fatalism Inventory was adopted to assess Nepalese women’s perception of cancer fatalism in cervical cancer. The Powe Fatalism Inventory was translated from English to Nepali language using forward and backward translation by independent bilingual translators. The back translated English version was compared to original version to ensure semantic and conceptual equivalence. The psychometric properties of PFI -N was tested with a convenience sample of 250 Nepalese women aged 21 or above without history of cervical cancer in the community. Reliability of the instrument was assessed by internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha and test–retest reliability using Cohen’s kappa. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the construct validity.
RESULTS
The instrument had undergone a total of three cycles of forward and backward translation involving six translators. The Nepali version of Powe Fatalism Inventory had demonstrated a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.89) and substantial to almost perfect agreement in test –retest reliability (Cohen’s kappa: 0.65- 0.85). Confirmatory factor analysis had revealed the one- factor model with adequate fit with the sample (RMSEA: 0.068, x2/df: 2.16; NNFI: 0.98; CFI: 0.99). The factor loadings of all items ranged from 0.61 to 0.91 and were all statistically significant.
CONCLUSIONS
The results provide support for the psychometric properties of the Nepali version of the Powe Fatalism Inventory. It is a reliable and valid instrument to measure cancer fatalism and provide valuable information about Nepalese women’s perception of cancer fatalism in cervical cancer.
