Abstract

Abstract. To date, there has been inconclusive evidence on the predictive ability of health-related cognitive distortion, as measured by the Irrational Health Belief Scale (IHBS), regarding health behaviors (HBs). The aims of our study were to provide a validation of the Slovak translation of the IHBS and to assess the relationship of the IHBS with a wide range of HBs, as well as the predictive ability of the IHBS regarding HBs over and above other health-related psychological constructs. A total of 448 students attending mostly Slovak universities completed the IHBS, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale, the Big Five Inventory – 2, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and the Bratislava Health Behaviors Questionnaire. The internal consistency and temporal stability of the Slovak version of the IHBS were confirmed. The IHBS correlated moderately with medical adherence but was unrelated to substance use and an unhealthy diet. The association of cognitive distortion with the sum score of HBs was only weak, albeit statistically significant. The IHBS had weak but significant incremental power. However, two health locus of control dimensions as well as negative emotionality were more strongly related to HBs than cognitive distortion in that multivariate model.

非临床人群的非理性健康信念量表与健康行为

摘要迄今为止，有关健康行为的非理性健康信念量表(IHBS)所测量的与健康相关的认知扭曲的预测能力还没有确凿的证据。我们研究的目的是验证IHBS的斯洛伐克语翻译，评估IHBS与广泛的HBs之间的关系，以及IHBS对HBs的预测能力，而不是其他与健康相关的心理结构。共有448名斯洛伐克大学学生完成了IHBS、多维健康控制点量表、大五量表- 2、积极和消极影响量表和布拉迪斯拉发健康行为问卷。斯洛伐克版IHBS的内部一致性和时间稳定性得到证实。IHBS与医疗依从性适度相关，但与物质使用和不健康饮食无关。认知扭曲与HBs总得分的关联虽然有统计学意义，但很微弱。IHBS具有微弱但显著的增量功率。然而，在多变量模型中，两个健康控制点维度和负面情绪与hbbs的关系比认知扭曲更强。
