Abstract

Background: Informational overload hinders the recognition of quality information and influences a population's health-related decisions. In this context, media health literacy aims to promote citizens' critical analysis skills, contributing to informed decision-making. This study aims to identify the instruments used to measure the level of media health literacy and their psychometric properties.

Methods: A systematic review of the scientific literature was performed in 2023. The articles were extracted from the electronic databases "Pubmed", "Web of Science", "Dialnet", and "Scopus". The search languages were limited to English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Results: Twelve articles were selected for further analysis. The described measurement instruments included five original scales and seven cross-cultural adaptations of three of them. Four scales (the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Media Literacy scale adapted to Turkish and Chinese, along with the Media Health Literacy (MeHLit) scale and its adaptation to the Chinese language) exhibited high quality in the assessment of psychometric properties.

Conclusions: These instruments allow for the measurement of an individual's level of skill when consuming specific health information, enabling an analysis to understand the risk they are exposed to. Further research is recommended to strengthen the existing evidence and apply these tools to broader and more diverse populations.

媒体健康素养测量工具：心理测量学特性的系统回顾。

背景：信息超载阻碍了人们对高质量信息的识别，并影响着人们与健康有关的决策。在这种情况下，媒体健康素养旨在提高公民的批判性分析能力，从而有助于做出明智的决策。本研究旨在确定用于测量媒体健康素养水平的工具及其心理测量特性：对 2023 年的科学文献进行了系统回顾。文章摘自电子数据库 "Pubmed"、"Web of Science"、"Dialnet "和 "Scopus"。搜索语言仅限于英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语：结果：选取了 12 篇文章进行进一步分析。所描述的测量工具包括五个原始量表和三个量表的七个跨文化改编版。其中四个量表（根据土耳其语和汉语改编的含糖饮料媒体素养量表，以及媒体健康素养（MeHLit）量表及其根据汉语改编的量表）在心理测量学特性评估中表现出较高的质量：这些工具可以测量个人在消费特定健康信息时的技能水平，从而分析了解他们所面临的风险。建议开展进一步研究，以加强现有证据，并将这些工具应用于更广泛、更多样化的人群。
