Abstract:
This study constructed a scale for measuring nurses' physical activity (PA) counseling in healthcare from the points of view of regular patients. Confirmatory factor analysis produced a two-factor solution with 7 items. The first factor extracted was "follow-up", which accounted for a variance of 44.5% out of a total variance of 64.8% and comprises 4 items. The second factor, "PA recommendation", accounted for a variance of 20.3% and comprises 3 items. The final scale had a good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.75; factor loading ≥0.50) as well as satisfactory validity indicators.
