Health Seeking Behavior: Scale Development Study
Öz
The aim of the study is to develop a measurement tool to determine the health-seeking behavior of individuals. The study is applied on 401 people aged 18 and older residing in Selçuklu district of Konya. Literature reviews, expert advice and results of individual interviews, a 30-item question pool is created. Exploratory factor analysis (AFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are performed with the data obtained from the pilot application. As a result of AFA, a 3-factor 16-item structure is obtained. The Kaiser-Meyer Olkin (KMO) coefficient is 0.810 and the Barlett test is significant (p <0.001). However, as a result of the subsequent CFA analysis, the t values of 4 items are lower than 1.96. These items are excluded because they adversely affect the goodness of fit index values. As a result of the removal of these substances, DFA analysis is performed. As a result of the research, a scale consisting of 12 items and 3 factors showing health seeking behavior for individuals is developed. Online search behavior consists of 6 items, professional search behavior 3 items, and traditional search behavior 3 items.
