Abstract

Background and Objectives: Brief Cope (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) is a common instrument used for the assessment of patients’ coping strategies. Since the factor structure of the instrument has been shown to vary in different clinical populations, the present study aimed to cross-validate the factor structure of the Brief Cope among Iranian women with breast cancer. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 224 women with breast cancer who were recruited from October 2014-May 2015 in Tehran, Iran. Factor analysis was performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’ s alpha, and analysis was carried out using SPSS software (version 24). Results: The PCA results indicated nine factors explaining 61. 6% of the total variance. Acceptance and religious coping compose an independent factor. Each pair of positive reframing and planning, use of emotional support and instrumental support, substance use and withdrawal, as well as venting and self-blame, composed one united component. Humor was extracted as an independent factor in the 9-factor structure. A number of 26 items (except humor) were merged with two higher-order factors of efficient and inefficient coping The internal consistency of the 9-factor structure ranged from 0. 54-0. 72, and those of functional and dysfunctional copings were obtained at 0. 83 and 0. 61, respectively. Conclusion: Consistent with previous studies, Brief Cope shows different factor structures in Iranian women with breast cancer. Researchers who use this instrument are recommended to be aware of the possible changes in the combinations of the strategies among their population of interest.
