171P - Validity and Reliability Tests of the UNS-CASKQ14 Questionnaire about the Quality and Compliance of Breast Cancer Survivors amid the Covid-19 Pandemic
Abstract
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic impacts cancer survivors in undergoing their therapy program. Changes in the body’s immunity due to cancer as well as the ongoing therapy cause anxiety and hesitation to seek treatment at a health service which, they think, is a place for treating patients with COVID-19 The fear and anxiety about going to the health service results in ignorance of their cancer. UNS-CASKQ14 is a questionnaire on assessing the quality and adherence of cancer survivors in undergoing their cancer therapy program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This questionnaire is used to assess the understanding of cancer survivors about their cancer therapy program and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survivors; are they so worried about contracting the coronavirus that they ignore the schedule of therapy or the coronavirus for fear that the cancer is not treated?
Methods
This cross-sectional study aims to test the validity and reliability of UNS-CASKQ14 with a total respondent of 82 breast cancer survivors who filled in the UNS-CASKQ14 questionnaire in Google Forms via WhatsApp. UNS-CASKQ14 is divided into 3 sections. The first section about cancer and COVID-19 survivors consists of 5 questions, the second section about the ongoing therapy program of the survivor during the pandemic consists of 5 questions, and the third section is how the survivors undergo the therapy program during the pandemic consisting of 4 questions. Pearson r-value was used for the validity test. From 14 questions with SPSS calculation, the r-value was 0.182. For the reliability test, Cronbach Alpha was used; it is said to be reliable if the value is > 0.100.
Results
The Pearson r-values in Sections I, II, and II were 0.310 - 0.870, 0.468 - 0.870, and 0.456 - 0.870, respectively. The Cronbach Alpha coefficients in the three sections were 0.667 - 0.752, 0.667 - 0.752, and 0.667 - 0.759, respectively. All questions in Sections I - III have valid values, which means that there is a satisfactory consistency interval in each question.
Conclusions
The validity and reliability tests of UNS-CASKQ14 have valid and reliable results so that it can be used as an instrument for research on other cancer survivors.
