Health Seeking Behavior Scale
It was developed by Kıraç and Öztürk in 2019 to assess individuals' health seeking behavior. The scale consists of 12 questions and three sub-dimensions: online health seeking behavior, professional health seeking behavior and traditional health seeking behavior. The score to be obtained from the scale varies between 12-60 and the scores obtained are divided by the number of scale items and an average between 1-5 points is obtained. The increase in the scores obtained from the total scale and its sub-dimensions indicates that the health seeking behavior of the individual increases.

The scale consists of 18 items. Fourteen items of the scale consist of statements containing quadruple responses questioning the mental status of the patients. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 54 points. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of health anxiety.
