Sažetak
Aim To validate the Croatian translation of the Body Image
Scale in breast cancer and chronic kidney disease patients.
Methods The scale was administered to 172 breast cancer
patients and to 89 chronic kidney disease patients. Measures of depression and anxiety were used to assess the
convergent validity. Both groups were divided based on
their treatment types.
Results In both samples, the scale showed high internal
consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.958 for breast cancer patients, 0.855 for chronic kidney disease patients) item-total
correlations (0.72-0.88 for breast cancer patients, 0.46-0.65
for chronic kidney disease patients), and convergent validity. In the breast cancer group, the factor analysis showed a
single-factor solution, while in the chronic kidney disease
group it showed a two-factor solution. Good discriminant
validity was obtained among breast cancer patients, with
patients who underwent complete mastectomy scoring
higher than patients who underwent partial mastectomy.
The scale showed no discriminant validity among chronic
kidney disease patients.
Conclusion The Croatian BIS shows good psychometric
properties
