Development of Assessment Method on Metal Health Education Program for High School Students:

Role of Perception, Health Beliefs, and Health Knowledge in Intentions to Receive Health Checkups among Young Adults in Korea

“…Higher scores indicated a stronger attitude toward health checkups. Cronbach’s α was 0.80 in Lim’s study [ 22 ] and 0.800 in our study.…”

“…Attitude toward health checkups is an evaluative emotional state in one’s favor or disfavor for a certain object and a tendency to consistently perform certain behaviors [ 21 ]. To measure attitudes toward health checkups, seven items were validated after revising and adjusting Lim’s instrument to fit our purpose [ 22 ]. Each item used a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (‘strongly disagree’) to 5 (‘strongly agree’).…”

“…Knowledge of health checkups implies knowledge of the methods of health checkup, interpretation of results, item checklist, and disease [ 22 ]. In this study, 14 items revised and validated from the instrument developed by Lim [ 22 ] referencing the criteria for student health checkups, e-book on health care, and National Health Insurance Corporation websites were used. The items provided choices, ‘yes’, ‘no,’ and ‘I don’t know’, and were scored 1 for correct answers and 0 for wrong answers or ‘I don’t know’.…”
