PURPOSE: To report findings of psychometric testing of the Functional Health Pattern Screening Tool (FHPAST). METHODS: Psychometric evaluation including internal consistency and principal components analysis. FINDINGS: The findings indicate that the FHPAST is a reliable, three‐component, 57‐item valid instrument. CONCLUSIONS: Psychometric testing supports the use of the FHPAST in research. The instrument captures each of the 11 functional health patterns as described by Gordon (1994) and has been translated into, and is available in, several languages. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Continued testing and refinement is needed across populations to support the findings from this investigation and to evaluate the outcomes of patient‐centered interventions over time.
