This article describes the development and initial psychometric evaluation of an instrument to measure health-promoting life-style. Based on responses from 952 adults in midwestern communities, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile was evaluated using item analysis, factor analysis, and reliability measures. Factor analysis isolated six dimensions: Self-Actualization, Health Responsibility, Exercise, Nutrition, Interpersonal Support, and Stress Management. These six factors accounted for 47.1% of the variance in the 48-item measure. Second-order factor analysis yielded a single factor, interpreted as Health-Promoting Lifestyle. The alpha reliability coefficient for the total scale is .922; alpha coefficients for the subscales range from .702 to .904. Further evaluation of the measure with different populations appears warranted. This instrument will enable researchers to investigate patterns and determinants of health-promoting life-style, as well as the effects of interventions to alter life-style.
本文描述了一种用于测量健康促进生活方式的工具的开发及初步心理测量评估。基于来自中西部社区952名成年人的回答，采用项目分析、因素分析和信度测量对健康促进生活方式概况进行了评估。因素分析分离出六个维度：自我实现、健康责任、锻炼、营养、人际支持和压力管理。这六个因素占48项测量中变异的47.1%。二阶因素分析得出一个单一因素，解释为健康促进生活方式。总量表的阿尔法信度系数为0.922；各分量表的阿尔法系数范围从0.702至0.904。对该测量工具在不同人群中的进一步评估似乎很有必要。该工具将使研究人员能够调查健康促进生活方式的模式和决定因素，以及改变生活方式干预措施的效果。
