Title

Validity and Reliability of Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale in Pregnant Women

Pages

  307-314

Abstract

 Background: The health locus of control (HLC) can indirectly determine the health status. The current study aimed to assess the Validity and Reliability of Form C of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC-C) scale in pregnant women. Methods: 554 pregnant women participated in this crosssectional study conducted in 2017; they referred to community health centers affiliated with Mashhad and Gonabad Medical Sciences Universities. Multi-stage random sampling was done. In this study, first, the questionnaire was translated into Farsi; then, face Validity and construct Validity were done through exploratory factor analysis, and concurrent criterion Validity was also examined. Moreover, the Reliability was assessed through internal consistency and stability methods. Results: The results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the MHLC-C scale consisted of four subscales, i. e. Chance, Internal, Other People, and Doctors, which accounted for 51. 18% of variance. The results of the Reliability analysis showed an acceptable internal consistency for the scale (Cronbach’ s alpha coefficient for subscales from 0. 62 to 0. 90). Also, the testretest results showed good stability for all subscales other than Doctors (P<0. 05). The concurrent Validity of Forms B and C of MHLC scale showed a positive and significant correlation between subscales. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the MHLC-C scale had acceptable Validity and Reliability in pregnant women and is suggested as an applicable criterion for assessing individuals control beliefs with any medical or health-related condition in Iran.
