- description
- Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS), developed by Champion in 1984 and revised in 1993, is used to measure women's beliefs about breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE). The Turkish Version of the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale was validated by Gözüm and Aydın in 2004 with 8 sub-dimensions and 58 items. Questions were answered on a 5-point Likert-type response scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), and mean scores were computed for each subscale. The total score that can be obtained from the scale is 58 minimum and 290 maximum. Thus, higher scores represent perceptions of greater susceptibility to breast cancer, greater benefits from screening, and higher barriers to screening. The opposite was expected for higher perceived barriers. A total scale score was also derived by computing the mean of the mean subscale scores, with barriers reverse coded.
