摘要

Objective

The aim is to develop the scale of Physical Activity Counseling Practices (PACPS) in Turkish and validate it among health professionals.

Methods

PACPS test-retest was applied to 162 health professionals (physician, physiotherapist, dietician, nurse) with a 1-week interval. Construct validity, correlations of PACPS with other scales were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ), Conscious Behavioral Physical Activity Questionnaire (CBAPQ).

Results

The content validity index value of the scale was found to be 0.76. The overall internal consistency of the scale (Cronbach α:0.917) was high. The item-total correlations of the scale are between 0.45 and 0.76.

Conclusion

This study, it was determined that the PACPS scale has good internal consistency, test-retest validity and sufficient construct validity when compared with the IPAQ and CBAPQ.
