Development of a TCM health self-management behavior scale
Objective To develop a TCM health self-management behavior scale and to verify its reliabili-ty and validity.Methods Literature research,semi-structured interviews and group discussions were conducted to form the initial scale of TCM health self-management behaviors.Online convenience sampling method was used to obtain 1 220 valid questionnaires by questionnaire star platform,with an effective recovery rate of 82.43%.SPSS 22.0 and Amos 24.0 were used for the recovered data's item analysis and reliability analysis.Results The KMO value of TCM health self-management behavior scale prepared in this study was 0.919.The scale consisted of 5 dimensions,including emotional self-management,diet self-management,daily life self-management,exercise self-management and disease self-management,with 19 items,which accounted for 72.736%of the total variance.The structural validity of the scale was GFI=0.950,NFI=0.963,CFI=0.967,RMR=0.059,and the corre-sponding parameters were all up to the ideal standard.The AVE of each model dimension ranged between 0.724 and 0.893,and the total reliability of the scale was 0.909.Conclusions The TCM health self-management be-havior scale developed in this study has good reliability and validity and can be used as a reference tool to evaluate residents'TCM health self-management behaviors.
