ABSTRACT

Background:

Lymphedema is a common late and chronic adverse effectof breast cancer treatment. This study aimed to translate and evaluate thepsychometric properties of the BCLE-SEI Spanish version with Spanish-speaking breast cancer patients.

Method:

286 patients were recruited(2018 to 2020), from the Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias. Dataanalysis included descriptive statistics; internal consistency and test-retestreliability; principal component analysis and exploratory factor analysis;average variance extracted; and receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results:

No semantic modifications to items were needed. The scores ofthe instrument demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’salpha = .95-.97; McDonald’s omega = .96-.98) and test-retest reliability(r = .78-.87, n = 29). A significant difference was observed between thelymphedema group and non-lymphedema group (p < .001) in terms of totalscale, symptom occurrence (p < .001), symptom distress in the physical-functional (p < .001), and psychosocial dimension (p < .001). Principalcomponent analysis for symptom occurrence revealed a unidimensionalfactor and two factors were identified for symptom distress via exploratoryfactor analysis, the two of which explained 45.71% and 54.77% of the totalsample variance, respectively.

Conclusions:

This study provided initialevidence to support the psychometric properties of the BCLE-SEI Spanishversion.
RESUMEN
Antecedentes el linfedemaes una complicación tras el cáncer de mama. El objetivo fue evaluar laspropiedades psicométricas de la versión española BCLE-SEI en mujeresdiagnosticadas de cáncer de mama que hablaban español.

Método:

participaron 286 pacientes (2018 a 2020) del Hospital UniversitarioCentral de Asturias. El análisis de datos incluyó estadísticos descriptivos;consistencia interna y fiabilidad test-retest, análisis de componentesprincipales y análisis factorial exploratorio; varianza media extraída;y curvas de características operativas del receptor.

Resultados:

no senecesitaron modificaciones semánticas en los ítems. El instrumentodemostró excelente consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach = 0,95-0,97;omega de McDonald = .96-.98) y fiabilidad test-retest (r = 0,78-0,87; n =29). Se observaron diferencias significativas entre grupos linfedema y sinlinfedema (p < .001) en las escalas total, de síntomas (p < .001), físico-funcional (p < .001) y psicosocial (p < .001). El análisis de componentesprincipales para la “aparición de síntomas” reveló un factor unidimensionaly se identificaron dos factores para la “angustia por síntomas” a través delanálisis factorial exploratorio, explicando el 45,71% y el 54,77% de lavarianza total de la muestra, respectivamente.

Conclusiones:

la versiónespañola de BCLE-SEI mostró adecuadas propiedades psicométricas.
