“…Considering the participants' age and school year, levels of health-promoting behaviors were higher among younger adolescents 5 and those in more advanced grades, namely between age and total behaviors, nutritional behaviors, social support and exercise behaviors, and between school year and nutritional behaviors, exercise behaviors, stress management and total behaviors. Nonetheless, other studies with similar results found that health-promoting nutritional behaviors were more common among older adolescents.…”

“…3 Levels of health-promoting behaviors were higher in female than male participants, but they were not statistically significant, contrary to other studies that found much more accentuated differences. 3,5 Such differences between genders demonstrate the need for distinct interventions focused on the lowest-scoring health-promoting behaviors for each group.…”

“…Those between the ages of 11 and 14 also presented higher mean scores of health promoting-behaviors than adolescents between 15 and 19. 5 In China, a study analyzed the level of healthpromoting behaviors among 407 male and female university students between the ages of 16 and 25 (mean age of 21 years), residing both in rural and urban areas.

Aiming to evaluate the psychometric properties of an instrument to assess the levels of health promoting behaviors, as well as to encounter those same levels related to their age, sex and graduation in a sample of 1213 Portuguese adolescents, the study was conducted of a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, retrospective and cross-sectional. The instrument has good internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha de 0,889) and reasonable correlations between items (entre -0,009 e 0,788), confirming the six factors defined by the authors of the scale. Levels of health-promoting behaviors in the sample are good (x=3,70), being higher in girls than boys, and youth to the detriment of younger older. Thus demonstrates the reliability of the instrument in the assessment of healthy behavior in portuguese adolescents, as well as the need for an health intervention in this population.DESCRIPTORS: Health promotion.

COMPORTAMENTOS PROMOTORES DE SAÚDE: PROPRIEDADES PSICOMÉTRICAS DE UM INSTRUMENTO DE AVALIAÇÃO RESUMO:Com o objetivo de avaliar as propriedades psicométricas de um instrumento de avaliação dos níveis de comportamentos promotores de saúde, bem como de conhecer esses mesmos níveis numa amostra de 1213 adolescentes portugueses, em relação à sua idade, sexo e ano de escolaridade, foi realizado este estudo, de caráter quantitativo, descritivo-correlacional, retrospetivo e transversal. O instrumento apresenta bons valores de consistência interna (Cronbach's Alpha de 0,889) e razoáveis correlações entre itens (entre -0,009 e 0,788), confirmando-se os seis fatores definidos pelos autores da escala. Os níveis de comportamentos promotores de saúde na amostra são bons (x=3,70), sendo mais elevados nas raparigas do que nos rapazes, e nos jovens mais novos em detrimento dos mais velhos. Demonstra-se assim a fiabilidade do instrumento na avaliação dos comportamentos promotores de saúde nos adolescentes portugueses, e a necessidade de uma intervenção em saúde, nesta população.

Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of the self reported health behaviors and differences in these behaviors by gender and grades in high school adolescents in İzmir, Turkey. Material and Methods:A stratified cluster sampling procedure was used for this cross-sectional study. The study sample included 2 296 students attending 22 high schools in Izmir. As a data collection instrument, some questions from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children Study 2009/2010 questionnnaire and questions which were developed by the researchers to understand behaviors of internet use in adolescents were used. Chi-square tests and Cramer's V statistics were used for statistical analyses.Results: Among the high school students, 33.8% experimented smoking, 26.3% smoked cigarette during the 30 days before the survey, 14.9% smoked cigarette regularly during the 30 days before the survey, 54.1% experimented drinking alcohol, 38.4% drunk alcohol during the 30 days before the survey, 31.6% got drunk, 10.9% were adequately physically active, 59.9% watched TV for a long period of time, 72.8% used internet for a long period of time, 48.1% ate breakfast regularly, 36.2% ate adequate amount of fruit, 14.1% ate adequate amount of vegetable, 31.3% ate candies and chocolate very often, 18% drunk soft drink very often, 30.3% were bullied, 29.9% bullied others and 41% involved in a physical fight. Conclusions:These results showed that "Adolescent friendly health services" should be generalized all over Turkey, physicians should evaluate each adolescent for his/her health behaviors in each visit and implementation of prevention programs which adopt a health promotion perspective is necessary begining from the elementary school.

Objectives Many studies concerning the roles and functions of school nurses exist, however, such studies are very limited in Turkey and there is any research on a comprehensive measuring tool that can evaluate teachers' and parents' perceptions and expectations of school nurses roles. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable assessment tool that can be used to determine parents' and teachers' expectations of school nurse's roles. Methods For the methodological research “Parents' and Teachers' Expectations of School Nurse's Roles” scale was designed and administered at primary and high schools in Turkey. To assess the data, assessment of item variability, internal consistency, factor analysis, correlations between the scale and subscales, and test-retest reliability were utilized. Results The content validity index for the scale was 0.94. As a result of core components analysis varimax rotation, 7 factors were obtained from 54 items. Cronbach's α coefficient for the factors ranged from 0.82 to 0.92. The intra-class correlation coefficient for the test-retest reliability was 0.859, P < 0.001. Conclusions The scale was a rather valid and reliable assessment tool in determining the parents' and teachers' expectations of school nurses' roles.
