Abstract

Breast cancer is the commonest issue in public health. The screening method particularly clinically-breast examination is likely to drive the leading for early diagnosis of breast cancer, and breast cancer awareness is the
key to encouraging in help seeking these treatments. Several breast cancer awareness instruments have been
developed that the authors report as validated. However, instruments like those are highly contextualized to
particular health care settings. The aim of this study was to develop the BCAS instrument among Indonesian
women. Indonesian women aged 18 to 80 years were selected by stratified random sampling in five municipalities in Yogyakarta provinces by two locations (rural–urban) combinations were collected. Parallel analysis
based on confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The association of the BCAS-I subscales with participant
characteristics was undertaken using proportional odds ordinal logistic regression. The questionnaires were
completed by 200 Indonesian women (100% response rate). The average age was 36 (SD = 12) and ranged
from 18 to 74 years old. Most participants resided in rural areas (62%), and 60% didn’t have health insurance.
According to the parallel analysis, a five-factor solution was used. The factor solution was followed: knowledge of
risk factors, knowledge of signs and symptoms, attitude to breast cancer prevention, a barrier of breast screening, and health behavior related to breast cancer awareness. And the alpha value of 0.78 indicates sufficiently
high reliability to provide confidence interpreting the score. This study demonstrated that the BCAS-I tool is
shown to valid and reliable in Yogyakarta women, Indonesia. Psychometric properties are needed to determine
the construct, concurrent, criterion, and predictive validity of the BCAS-I scale.
Keywords: Breast Cancer Awareness Scale, Psychometric Properties, Indonesian Women.
