Measuring Health-Promoting Behaviors: Cross-Cultural Validation of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II

Abstract

Purpose

Individual lifestyles have emerged as valuable health constructs. This study aims to psychometrically test the Portuguese (European) version of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II.

Methods

After an adequate linguistic and cultural adaptation of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II scale, their psychometric properties were assessed (N = 889) by Cronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis.

Findings

Results showed an adequate fit to a 52-item, six-factor structure. A global alpha of .925 was obtained.

Conclusions

The Portuguese version demonstrated good validity and reliability in a wide adult sample, and can thus be applied to the Portuguese population.

Implications for Nursing Practice

This instrument is useful as an evaluation tool for health-promoting lifestyles and as an instrument for testing the effectiveness of health-promoting programs.

Finalidade

Os estilos de vida são constructos de saúde valiosos. Este estudo visa avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesa (Português europeu) do Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II.

Métodos

Após uma adequada adaptação cultural e linguística do Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II, as suas propriedades psicométricas foram avaliadas (N = 889) através da análise do alfa de Cronbach e da análise fatorial confirmatória.

Resultados

Os resultados mostraram uma adaptação adequada a uma estrutura de 52 itens com seis fatores. O alfa global obtido foi de 0,925.

Conclusão

Foi demonstrada a validade e fiabilidade da versão portuguesa numa ampla amostra de adultos, e, portanto, pode ser aplicada para a população portuguesa.

Implicações para a prática de enfermagem

Este instrumento é útil como uma ferramenta de avaliação de estilos de vida promotores de saúde e como um instrumento para testar a eficácia de programas de promoção da saúde.
