Abstract:

 Background and Purpose: Personal health and exercise belief is an essential component of creating physical activity and exercise programs. The Health Belief Model Scale for Exercise HBSE is an instrument that evaluates this component. Our study aims to translate the HBSE into Turkish and to investigate its psychometric properties in the adult population. Methods: After the translation process, we included 180 participants age: 28 2536 years, gender: 11565 in our study. Explanatory factor analysis was performed. Internal consistency was measured by Cronbach alpha and test-retest reliability was assessed using the intra-class correlation coefficient ICC. Convergent, divergent, and known-groups validity gender, educational level, marital status, and regular exercise habit were used for construct validity. Results: Factor analysis indicated six factors factor-loadings0.664 to 0.900. Cronbach α coefficients ranged from 0.706 to 0.842 and ICC ranged from 0.710 to 0.956. It was seen that the HBSE subscores with the scales that were used for convergent validity had a moderate-strong correlation Rho0.614 to 752 and 0.001. Age and BMI were not related to the HBSE scores p0.05. The HBSE total scores were higher in women and the person whom with regular exercise habits p0.05. Conclusion: The results highlighted that the Turkish version of the HBSE is a reliable and valid instrument to assess exercise belief.
