AB  - INTRODUCTION: Cervical cancer (CC) treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were 
      found to be among the major reasons for treatments delays and medication 
      non-adherence. Knowledge and practice of self-care management of these AEs are 
      therefore needed to complement the pharmacotherapeutic interventions. Instruments 
      for assessing CC patients' knowledge and practice of self-care management of 
      treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs) are lacking. Hence, the rational for this 
      study. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on CC patients 
      receiving chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both, with or without surgery in Usmanu 
      Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital (UDUTH) Sokoto, a tertiary hospital in 
      North-Western Nigeria. A panel of 14 experts judged the content validity of the 
      items initially selected. Purposive sampling technique was used, 31 CC patients 
      were recruited and interviewed for the questionnaire pre-testing. Descriptive 
      statistics and psychometric analysis were conducted using SPSS Version 20.0 for 
      Windows. A Cronbach's alpha coefficient >/=0.70 was considered acceptable. RESULTS: 
      A 12-domain questionnaire instrument was developed. Eight (57.1%) of the expert 
      panelists rated the questions' items as "Very good for the study" and none of 
      them rated any of the content "not relevant for the study". The reliability 
      studies showed that the overall knowledge and practice questions response rates 
      were 71.0% and 77.4% and Cronbach's alpha (alpha) values were 0.956 and 0.913, 
      respectively. CONCLUSION: A reliable, 12-domain cervical cancer patients' 
      knowledge and practice of self-care management of treatment-related adverse 
      events questionnaire was developed. Further research on the psychometric 
      qualities of the instrument is needed.
