This methodological study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Motivation for Changing Life Style and Health Behavior for Reducing the Risk of Dementia scale in Turkish.
The study enrolled 220 individuals aged 40 years and older between September 2017 and June 2018. The Kendall W analysis and content validity index were used for validity; test-retest and confirmatory factor analyses were used for the reliability analysis.
The Turkish version of the Motivation for Changing Life Style and Health Behavior for Reducing the Risk of Dementia scale has valid content. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was .809, and the subscales were in the ranges of .781 to .609. A statistically significant, positive correlation was found between the test and retest scores.
These results show that the scale has validity and reliability for use in the Turkish population.
