Abstract

Objective: To translate the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) to Serbian language and examine its psychometric characteristics.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 295 people with chronic diseases from the Foča region (Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The HLQ was translated according to the translation integrity procedure. Construct validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the maximum likelihood estimator and reliability was estimated using the α and ω coefficients.

Results: Minor linguistic differences in 17 items were observed between the original and the initial forward translation and were corrected. The parameters of one-factor CFA on domains 3 and 8 fitted well. The parameters of the CFA for domains 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 were acceptable after modification using residuals' correlation. The α and ω coefficients for all domains were good to excellent (>0.80).

Conclusion: Each domain of the HLQ in Serbian has acceptable construct validity and overall good reliability. This study adds to the growing evidence that the HLQ is a useful tool to provide in-depth multidimensional information on health literacy to improve researchers and policymakers understanding of the health literacy strengths, needs and preferences across cultures and languages.

慢性病患者塞尔维亚语健康素养问卷的语言适应和心理测量特性。

目的：将健康素养问卷（HLQ）翻译成塞尔维亚语，并考察其心理测量特征。方法：这项横断面研究对来自Foča地区（塞族共和国、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那）的295名慢性病患者进行。HLQ按照翻译完整性程序进行翻译。使用最大似然估计量使用验证性因素分析（CFA）测试结构有效性，使用α和ω系数估计可靠性。结果：在17个项目中，原译文和原译文之间存在细微的语言差异，并得到了纠正。域3和域8上的单因子CFA的参数拟合良好。域1、2、4、5、6、7和9的CFA参数在使用残差相关性进行修改后是可接受的。所有领域的α和ω系数均为良好至优秀（＞0.80）。结论：塞尔维亚语HLQ的每个领域都具有可接受的结构有效性和总体良好的可靠性。这项研究进一步证明，HLQ是一个有用的工具，可以提供关于健康素养的深入多维信息，以提高研究人员和政策制定者对不同文化和语言的健康素养优势、需求和偏好的理解。

期刊介绍： Chronic illnesses are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously, and are rarely completely cured. The most common are cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure), the arthritides, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and epilepsy. There is increasing evidence that mental illnesses such as depression are best understood as chronic health problems. HIV/AIDS has become a chronic condition in those countries where effective medication is available.
