Abstract
Objectives: to analyze the validity evidence of the internal structure of the Risk Self-Medication Questionnaire Focused on Health Literacy.
Methods: a psychometric study with 499 adults. The internal structure was assessed with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to prove the adjustment. Internal consistency was measured by composite reliability and McDonald's omega coefficient (ω).
Results: the parameters revealed a model of 35 items distributed across four factors, explaining 56% of the total variance, with factor loadings ranging from 0.31 to 0.85 and adequate communalities. Accuracy (0.79
Conclusions: an instrument was obtained with good evidence of structural validity for measuring self-medication.

The Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem created in 1932, March 20 is the official publication of the Associação Brasileira de Enfermagem (Brazilian Nursing Association) has as purpose to disseminate the scientific production from different nursing interest areas of knowledge, including those which express the political project of the Association. The Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem is the oldest journal of the Brazilian nursing. Its first title was "Annaes de Enfermagem" from 1932 to 1941, being entitled Anais de Enfermagem" until 1955, when its title was changed to the current.
