Objectives£ºWe examined the reliability and validity of the Korean version of Body image scale in Korean patients with breast cancer.
Methods£ºThe sample consisted of 140 breast cancer patients. The complete Korean version of the body image scale(K-BIS), self-reports, and psychiatric interviews with a psychiatrist were used. To analyze the validity, the patients completed the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAM-A), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAM-D), the Self-Esteem Scale, the Social Support Scale, and the Korean version of the European Organization for Research and the Treatment of Cancer of the life questionnaire Breast Cancer Module(QLQ-BR23). To analyze the degree of discriminant validity, the patients were separated according to surgery type(Breast conserving surgery, BCS, N=48 ; Modified radical mastectomy, MRM, N=92) and time since surgery(¡Â3 weeks, N=58; £¾3 weeks, N=92).
Results£ºCronbach¡¯s ¥á was 0.918, indicating that K-BIS has adequate internal consistency and validity. Regarding convergent validity, all QLQ-BR23 symptom domains, HAM-A total scores, and HAM-D total scores was positively were correlated with the K-BIS total scores. All QLQ-BR23 function domains were negatively correlated with the K-BIS total scores, particularly those pertaining to the body image domain.
Conclusions£ºThis study shows that K-BIS is likely to be a reliable and valid measure of body image in breast cancer patients.
