Abstract

Health literacy (HL) refers to knowledge, motivation and skills to understand, evaluate and apply health information, enabling appropriate decision making in daily life on health care and health promotion. Studies show that HL is associated with several social determinants, health outcomes, and health promotion. In Brazil, studies on the thematic are still scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to adapt, seek evidence of validity, reliability and estimate the parameters of the items of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire Short Form (HLS-Q12) for the Brazilian context. 770 individuals participated, recruited through advertisements in the media and social networks, 82.1% female, aged between 18 and 83 (M = 35.5, SD = 13.52), from 21 Federative Units of Brazil and the Federal District. The subjects answered the HLS-Q12 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a unifactorial structure with good psychometric characteristics (GFI = 0.98; CFI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.08; RMSR = 0.07). Cronbach's alpha, Guttman's lambda 2 and McDonald's omega reliability indicators were equal to 0.87. We conclude that the HLS-Q12 is an adequate instrument to assess the level of HL in the Brazilian population.

欧洲健康素养调查问卷简表(HLS-Q12):巴西背景下的适应性和有效性证据。

健康素养（HL）是指理解、评估和应用健康信息的知识、动机和技能，使人们能够在日常生活中就医疗保健和健康促进做出适当的决策。研究表明，HL与几个社会决定因素、健康结果和健康促进有关。在巴西，关于这一专题的研究仍然很少。因此，本研究旨在调整、寻求有效性、可靠性的证据，并估计欧洲健康素养调查问卷简表（HLS-Q12）中项目的参数，以适应巴西的情况。770人参与，通过媒体和社交网络上的广告招募，82.1%为女性，年龄在18至83岁之间（M = 35.5，标准差 = 13.52），来自巴西21个联邦单位和联邦区。受试者回答了HLS-Q12和社会人口学问卷。探索性因素分析显示一个统一的结构具有良好的心理测量特征（GFI = 0.98；CFI = 0.98；RMSEA = 0.08；RMSR = 0.07）。Cronbachα、Guttmanλ2和McDonaldω的可靠性指标等于0.87。我们得出的结论是，HLS-Q12是评估巴西人群HL水平的适当工具。
