Government-trained health promotion volunteers are a type of community-based health organization in Japan. This study aimed to develop a scale to measure the degree of support from public health nurses to promote health promotion volunteer autonomy (support scale). A cross-sectional study was conducted. Among public health nurses working in 19 municipalities with health promotion volunteers in Niigata Prefecture, a total of 200 supporting health promotion volunteers at the time of the study were studied. The measurements of this study were as follows: Public health nurse attributes; details of their support to promote health promotion volunteer autonomy; their attitudes toward health promotion volunteer training; and levels of health promotion volunteer autonomy with such support. The number (rate) of valid responses was 140(70.0%). As a result of factor analysis, a support scale consisting of the following 4 factors and 31 items was developed: “support to promote health promotion volunteers’ communication with the government and community”; “support to enhance the significance and joyfulness of health promotion volunteer activities”; “Support to increase awareness, knowledge and skills of self-directed activities”; and “the provision of a basis for health promotion volunteer activities and agreement with superiors and colleagues”. Its validity and reliability were confirmed in each factor overall. The validity and reliability of the support scale developed in the study were generally favorable; therefore, it is likely to be sufficiently applicable.
