“…The absence of a midpoint in Likert scale responses forces a positive or negative response to questions. 11 This scale seeks to understand respondents’ general attitudes, not the knowledge or existence of unpredictable conditions; therefore, a 5-point Likert scale with a midpoint was used to prevent the distortion of responses (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree).…”

“…Young adults perceive health in terms of not only physical and mental well-being but also optimal productivity, that is, for self-control and self-care, consequently indicating the need for a broader conceptualization of health-promoting behaviors. 11 Against this backdrop, we aimed to develop and validate a post-pandemic health promotion behavior (PP-HPB) scale that reflects the lifestyles of young adults and measures their health promotion behavior. We subsequently verified the reliability and validity of the PP-HPB scale among a sample of young adults in South Korea.…”

“…9 According to Pender, 10 the self-directed perception of human-environment interaction patterns is essential for behavioral change. Correspondingly, Heo and Jang 11 reported that, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the intergenerational factors affecting human-environment interaction among young adults should inform health promotion policies; furthermore, the online lifestyle of and new health perceptions in younger generations must be considered in the context of health promotion and management.…”

This study aims to develop and validate a health promotion behavior scale that reflects the lifestyle changes driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased use of digital devices among young adults. Methods: Questions were selected using a literature review and validated by a group of experts. The sample consisted of 446 young adults aged 19-29 years living in South Korea who agreed to participate in the study and were surveyed online using Google Forms on September 19 and 20, 2022. Construct validity was confirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses; reliability was tested using Cronbach's α, and interrater validity was confirmed with the Health Promoting Lifestyle II (HPLP-II) instrument. Results: After conducting an item analysis of 49 preliminary items and an exploratory factor analysis, six factors and 27 items were selected. The six factors were named psychosocial health, personal hygiene, dietary habits, health care, using mobile devices, and physical activity. The confirmatory factor analysis verified the model fit, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The correlation coefficient with the Health Promoting Lifestyle II (HPLP-II) instrument was 0.69, confirming criterion validity, and the reliability of the final instrument was high (Cronbach's α = 0.90).
Conclusion:The validity and reliability of the developed scale were confirmed. The scale can be used to measure the health promotion behavior of young adults in light of the lifestyle changes driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased use of digital devices. We hope that future studies will use the tool as a basis for improving the health promotion behavior of young adults.
