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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
