Abstract:
University Social Responsibility (USR) enhances educational development and the impact of universities on society. As a stakeholder in USR, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive literacy scale that reflects the development of students' citizenship in social engagement. Thus, this study aims to develop and validate the Health Promotion Literacy-based Scale for students in USR (HPLS-USR). A total of 200 students from USR with an average age of 19.27 participated in the study. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to verify the scale's construct validity. Twenty-two items were maintained in EFA with an internal consistency Cronbach's α of 0.92. Construct validity was supported by EFA results, confirming that the four-factor structure of the 22-item scale (personal growth, responsibility of citizenship, social interaction, and intellectual growth) have reasonable correlations to each other, explaining 61.83% of the variance in the scale. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index values of 0.908 and Bartlett's Test of Sphericity (p = 0.001) verified the normal distribution of the EFA and the adequacy of the EFA sampling. These items achieved adequate factor loadings ranging between 0.44 and 0.82. This study demonstrated that the HPLS-USR has satisfactory construct validity and reliability in measuring students' literacy abilities developed in USR participation.
