AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of a health promotion behavior scale among university students in Brazil.
- Using a sample of 324 students, the researchers found a Cronbach's alpha of 0.83, indicating good reliability, with most item-total correlations exceeding 0.3.
- The exploratory factor analysis revealed two components that explained 44.54% of the scale's variance, confirming the scale's applicability to university students.
Article Abstract
Objective: to verify the reliability and validity of the health promotion behavior scale, of the Nursing Outcomes Classification, in university students.
Method: methodological study carried out with 324 university students from a federal institution, based in a city in the Northeast of Brazil. Internal consistency was verified using Cronbach's alpha and item-total correlation. Validity was performed through exploratory factor analysis via main components.
Results: the scale showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.83, showing good reliability. The item-total correlations remained above 0.3 for most items, only items 01, 13, 19 and 20 were below this mark. In the exploratory factor analysis, two components were extracted whose variances explained 44.54% of the instrument's composition.
Conclusion: the health promotion behavior scale showed good reliability and validity, demonstrating that it can be applied to the population of university students.
