The education level of the participants varies as; 51.7 % (n=187) health professional high school, 39.8 % (n=144) health school (high school) and 8.5 % (n=31) bachelor degrees. Performance rate of breast self examination (BSE) rate was 56.1 % (n=203) among the participants, 15.5 % (n=56) of the midwives and nurses applies BSE regularly, but 40.6 % (n=147) irregularly, while 43.9 % (n=159) does not apply at all. Approximately fourty-eight of participants had adequate knowledge about BSE technique and 10.2 % (n=37) had no knowledge at all. Among participants 40.3 % (n=146) had clinical breast examination. Only, 25.4 % (n=92) of the participants had a mammogram exam but, 74.6 % (n=270) did not.

    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Gunes, Dilek; Erci, Behice; Uncu, Fatos; Saritas, Serdar
    Background. The Psychosocial Assessment of Candidates for Transplantation (PACT) scale shows a statistically acceptable level of reliability and validity and can guide clinicians in managing transplant candidates. This study aims to adapt PACT scale to Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability for Turkish transplant candidates.Methods. This was a psychometric study of a sample of 162 patients in the organ transplant services of 2 hospitals in Turkey. The number of patients enrolled in the study was 20 times the number of items on the scale. The research data were collected using PACT. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient, Pearson correlation, and factor analysis were used to evaluate the data.Results. The data were analyzed using varimax rotation in principal component analysis. The factor loadings of the items ranged from 0.56 to 0.79. The internal reliability coefficient of the scale is 0.87. It was also found that the scale accounted for the 52.82% of the total variance.Conclusion. According to the results of this study, evidence of the validity and reliability of the PACT was obtained.
