The aim of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability of the physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing questionnaire, in adolescent populations, administered by teachers in school settings, in the Republic of Ireland.
A cross-sectional, mixed sample of 55 participants (45.5% males: Age, 13.94 (±.40) years) were included. The participants completed the questionnaire on two occasions (T1 and T2), on the same day and time, one week apart following identical procedures. Variables for testing included physical activity behavior (n=13), health (n=11) and wellbeing (n=2). Test-retest reliability of the questionnaire's covariates, including family affluence and physical impairments were also examined.
Systematic error (Bland-Altman plots) was found to be near to zero for each of the physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing variables. The combined mean coefficient of variation was lower for females (10.19%) in comparison to males (13.01%). The combined mean intraclass correlation coefficients were higher for females (0.901) than males (0.822). Similarly, the combined mean Cronbach alpha coefficient were higher for girls (0.908) than boys (0.821).
This study found the physical activity behavior, health and wellbeing questionnaire to be reliable for use in adolescent populations.
本研究旨在检验由爱尔兰共和国学校教师管理的青少年身体活动行为、健康与幸福问卷的重测信度。
纳入55名参与者的横断面混合样本(45.5%为男性:年龄13.94(±0.40)岁)。参与者在同一天、同一时间按照相同程序,分两次(T1和T2)完成问卷,两次间隔一周。测试变量包括身体活动行为(n = 13)、健康(n = 11)和幸福(n = 2)。还检验了问卷协变量(包括家庭富裕程度和身体损伤)的重测信度。
身体活动行为、健康和幸福各变量的系统误差(布兰德-奥特曼图)均接近零。女性的综合平均变异系数(10.19%)低于男性(13.01%)。女性的综合平均组内相关系数(0.901)高于男性(0.822)。同样,女孩的综合平均克朗巴哈α系数(0.908)高于男孩(0.821)。
本研究发现身体活动行为、健康和幸福问卷在青少年人群中使用具有可靠性。
