Purpose: The aim of the present study was to conduct the validity and reliability of the “Functional Health Patterns-Based Perceived Health Scale (FHP-PH)” and to investigate the psychometric properties of the scale in order to determine health patterns in the general population.
Material and Methods: In the study, the trial form with 92 items was applied to a sample including 655 people. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to determine the construct validity and 27% lower-upper group comparison was carried out to determine internal validity.
Results: The developed FHP-PH scale consists of 3 subscales and 26 items and can account for 50.6% of the total variance. The total score of the scale ranges between 26 and 130 and higher scores signify a positive perception of health. The Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as .89, which indicates high reliability.
Conclusion: The developed FHP-PH scale is valid in terms of scope and content and has high reliability.
