Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop and test the psychometric properties of a new instrument for measuring adherence to preventive behaviors for Thai persons with prehypertension (APBS). The instrument development process involved two phases: 1) development of the APBS. The 93 items generated for the instrument were drawn from literature reviews, concept analysis and in-depth interviews. Scaling responses were determined using a 5 point Likert-scale; 2) psychometric evaluation of the APBS. Content validity was evaluated by three healthcare professionals and examined on its face validity using 12 Thais with prehypertension. The content validity index showed a high validity with an I-CVI of 1.00 and S-CVI of 0.9. After pretesting, the APBS consisted of 83 items with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.98. Data collection for psychometric evaluation was conducted by a convenience sampling of 661 persons with prehypertension from southern Thailand. Construct validity was assessed by measuring exploratory factor analysis, hypothesis testing, and known group technique. The APBS consisted of 61 items with three attributes 1) intention and engagement in practicing preventive behavior; 2) perseverance in practicing preventive behaviors; and 3) maintenance of practicing

TL;DR: This study examined constructs drawn from social-cognitive theory and self-determination theory in relation to dietary self-care and life satisfaction among 638 individuals with diabetes to postulate direct links between self-efficacy/autonomous self-regulation, and adherence/ life satisfaction.
