Abstract

Objective

To construct and validate a questionnaire about the attitude of university students toward health promotion.

Method

A cross-sectional study. A questionnaire of 14 questions was designed and administered to 1486 first-year undergraduates. The principal axes factoring method with oblique rotation was applied and a confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. Reliability was calculated through internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha and item-total correlation for the global scale and its subscales.

Results

A 14-item scale was constructed, with two dimensions. Its Cronbach's alpha was 0.872, and 0.852, and 0.718 for its subscales. The adjustment values of the confirmatory factor analysis were adequate.

Conclusions

The attitude towards health promotion scale has shown to have adequate psychometric properties. It is an instrument that will help to detect referents and health assets for future interventions.

大学生的健康促进态度。量表的构建与验证

方法横断面研究。设计了一份包含 14 个问题的问卷，并对 1486 名一年级本科生进行了问卷调查。采用主轴因子法和斜向旋转法，并进行了确认性因子分析。用 Cronbach's alpha 和项目总相关计算了总量表及其分量表的内部一致性。其 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.872，子量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.852，子量表的 Cronbach's alpha 为 0.718。结论健康促进态度量表具有充分的心理测量特性。结论健康促进态度量表具有适当的心理测量学特性，有助于为未来的干预措施检测参照物和健康资产。
