- Abstract
Health promoting behaviors comprise one of the main properties aspects of health and are recognized as a factor for prevention of diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) questionnaire using a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This study was conducted on 706 people above the age of 15 residing in Bandar-Abbas using the cluster sampling method. Data analysis was performed through a CFA alongside calculation of the Cronbach's alpha and the internal consistency of different domains. Results of the factor analysis showed that by eliminating three out of 52 items of the original HPLP II, the Persian version obtained a good fit with 49 items. The fit index of the CFA was calculated as 0.93. Cronbach's alpha was 0.92 for the whole questionnaire and ranged from 0.71 to 0.86 for its different domains. There was a significant correlation between the domains, ranging from 0.44 to 0.89. Based on the findings of this study, the 49-item Persian version of the HPLP II questionnaire was a credible, reliable and valid tool for measuring healthpromoting behaviors among the population of the Hormozgan province, Iran.
