Purposes: The study aimed to translate the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) into Indonesian and test the cultural equivalence, reliability, and validity of the new version for university students., Methods: The cross-sectional study recruited 379 Indonesian university students using convenience sampling. Phase 1, a culturally appropriate version of the ESES was developed in the Indonesian language. Phase 2, the psychometric properties were determined through exploratory factor analysis, bootstrap factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency reliability was tested using Cronbach's α, whereas the stability using intraclass correlation coefficient to assess., Results: The students' ages ranged from 17 to 39 years, and 65.0% were women. For translation equivalence, the mean item content validity indexes ranged from 3.5 to 4, and all items were understandable. The 16-item scale exhibited cross-cultural appropriateness and readability, with a three-factor model explaining 62.3% of the variance in exercise self-efficacy. A bootstrap analysis using 100 resamples further confirmed the three-factor model. The indices of the good-fit model that used the three-factor by two-stage least squares method were satisfactory, with χ 2 /df = 3.3, goodness of fit index = .88, and root mean-square error of approximation = .05 (p < .001). The Cronbach's α was .78, .80, and .92 for factors 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The test--retest reliability was demonstrated with an intraclass correlation coefficient of .91, indicating adequate measurement stability., Conclusion: The 16-item ESES-I has acceptable validity and reliability; however, a broader application of the scale requires further testing in different populations to confirm its external validity., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest All authors declare no conflicts of interest in this study., (Copyright © 2020.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a web-based survivorship care plan (SCP) computerized application (APP): (SCP-A) on women's unmet needs, fear of recurrence, symptom distress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL)., Methods: Women diagnosed with breast cancer, who had completed their primary treatment but less than 5 years without a sign of recurrence (N = 165) were randomized to a SCP-A or a control group. Self-reported questionnaires were completed by the both groups at baseline (T0), 5 weeks (T1), 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), and 12 months (T4)., Results: Controlling for relevant covariates, mixed effect model analyses revealed a significant decrease in women in the SCP-A group compared to the control group for total unmet needs since T3 (p < .004) and fear of recurrence since T4 (p = .02). Women in the SCP-A group also reported significant improvements in QoL at T4 (p < .001) relative to those in the control group., Conclusion: Providing SCP using an information website application for women with breast cancer can decrease unmet needs, fear of recurrence, and improve quality of life during short-term and long-term use., Practice Implications: Web-based information that provides survivorship care plans for breast cancer survivors are beneficial., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declared that they have no conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
