Abstract
Objective
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate the Cardiovascular Health Beliefs Scale (CHBS) to assess CVD-related health beliefs.
Methods
A cross-sectional methodological design was utilized in two phases. Phase 1 (n = 150) focused on item generation and exploratory factor analysis. Phase 2 (n = 531) involved confirmatory factor analysis. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the newly developed CHBS and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) General Severity Index to test construct validity.
