Abstract
The English version of the Condom Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) was translated, back-translated, and tested among a representative sample of the Hong Kong general population. It then underwent reconsolidation, confirmation, and validation following standard procedures. Construct validity was performed by exploratory factor analysis and item-scale correlation. Independent t-test and effect size were used to identify the score differences between consistent and non-consistent condom users. The factor loading scores of 14 items ranged between 0.749 and 0.884. Cronbach's alpha for the traditional Chinese version of CSES (CSES-TC) was 0.96 for the overall scale. The CSES-TC was highly correlated with self-reported condom use among the 265 participants who indicated they had been sexually active in the past 12 months. The CSES-TC demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties in terms of validity, reliability, and sensitivity. This scale can be used as an instrument to measure condom use efficacy for condom promotion and intervention purposes.
