Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Health Protective Behavior Scale

Purpose: The aim of this study is to perform the Turkish adaptation study of the Health Protective Behavior Scale. Methods: This was a methodological study that was conducted between August 2020 and September 2020. The sample of the study consists of 384 individuals aged 18-59 living in the city center of Kayseri. In this study, "Descriptive Information Form" and "Health Protective Behavior Scale (HPBS)" were used as data collection tools. The reliability of the scale was evaluated by internal consistency, Pearson correlation, and test-retest reliability. The construct validity of the scale was tested by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: According to the results of the explanatory factor analysis, 40.748% variance was explained in 4 dimensions in the scale. In the confirmatory factor analysis, a four-dimensional structure was found to fit well (X2/df=2.213 RMSEA=0.056). As a result of the reliability analysis of the scale, it was found that the internal consistency coefficient was α = .82 and the test-retest reliability was r = .81. Conclusion: It has been determined that HPBS is a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine health protective and development behaviors.
