Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

CREATION Health encompasses eight whole-person care principles: Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal-Relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition. An existing initial tool consisting of 74 items related to the eight CREATION Health principles and college students' wellbeing were generated by subject/methodology experts. To develop the CREATION Health Assessment Tool for College Students (CHAT-CS), this initial tool needs to be finalized through item reductions and validations in the population of college students.

Detailed Description

CREATION Health encompasses eight whole-person care principles: Choice, Rest, Environment, Activity, Trust, Interpersonal-Relationships, Outlook, and Nutrition.

Based on these principles, a health and wellness program, CREATION Health Wellness Program was developed. Since then various education/training plans using mind-body-spirit approaches have been implemented for different populations. Recently the Adventist Health System has plan to assess Adventist university students' health wellbeing and develop strategies to intervene and thus improve their overall wellbeing. However, literature review found that measures of these eight CREATION Health principles are often discrete and inconsistent. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive, consistent assessment tool.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Establish reliability using Cronbach's alpha [Through December, 2018]
Cronbach's (alpha) is a coefficient of reliability. The theoretical l value of the Cronbach's alpha varies from 0 to 1. A higher score indicates higher reliability.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Item deduction [Through May, 2019]
If an item is highly correlated with another item (item redundancy), consider removing one of the two items (correlation >.70) If an item is not correlated (<.30) with other items, then consider eliminating this item If an individual item has a weak loading on all factors (.39 or less), consider removing If an item has a high loading (.40 or more) on multiple factors, consider modification or elimination
