Development and validation of a theory of planned behavior-based weight control behavior questionnaire among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis

摘要

ABSTRACT Our aim was to develop a framework-based weight control behavior questionnaire (Weight-CuRB) and test its psychometric properties among a non-probability sample of 240 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Appropriate validity, simplicity, functionality and reliability were observed for the Weight-CuRB. The explanatory model fits the data well (2 139 = 245.835, p<.001, CFI = 0.950, NFI = 0.901, IFI = 0.950, RMSEA = 0.057(0.045-0.068). To our knowledge, this was the first study to develop and validate a framework-based instrument aiming at cognitive needs assessment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. The weight-CuRB may be useful in addressing the core cognitive determinants of weight control among the patients.
