Healthy lifestyle skills level
The Healthy Lifestyle Skills Scale for Children Aged 8-10 is a validated instrument developed to assess healthy lifestyle skills among primary school children aged 8-10 years. The scale consists of 22 items and four subdimensions: health protection (7 items), cleaning and hygiene (8 items), sports and physical activity (4 items), and proper nutrition (3 items). All items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("never") to 5 ("always"). The total score ranges from 22 to 110, with higher scores indicating better healthy lifestyle skills. Based on score ranges, scores between 22-69 indicate low, 70-89 moderate, and 90-110 high levels of healthy lifestyle skills. The scale can be administered individually or in groups and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. It is self-reported and will be completed by the students under researcher supervision.
