Abstract

Purpose

The objective of this study is to adapt the Health Literacy Sensitive Communication Scale (HL-COM) for Turkish society and to evaluate its validity and reliability.

Method

The scale's psychometric properties were evaluated including reliability and construct validity, through measures such as internal consistency, item-total correlation coefficients and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), respectively. A sample of 221 patients with diabetes was selected to participate in the study.

Findings

The HL-COM displayed satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha values.95) and time based stability (ICC values.98). Item-total score correlations revealed moderate associations between each item and the scale, with all items adequately representing the construct. The content validity index (CVI) was.93. According to the findings of confirmatory factor analysis obtained from the validity analysis, the fit index of the scale was found to be χ2/df = 2,21 and the scale had a one factor structure. In addition, other good fit indexes of the model also show that the proposed model is acceptable [GFI= .94, RMSEA= .074, CFI= .98, AGFI= .90, NFI= .97]

Conclusion

The findings indicate that Turkish version of the HL-COM is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the health sensitive communication proficiencies of healthcare professionals from the perspective of patients with diabetes.

土耳其卫生知识敏感沟通量表的改编：有效性和可靠性研究

方法分别通过内部一致性、项目-总相关系数和确证因子分析（CFA）等方法评估量表的心理测量特性，包括信度和建构效度。研究结果HL-COM显示出令人满意的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha值.95）和时间稳定性（ICC值.98）。项目-总分相关性显示，每个项目与量表之间的相关性适中，所有项目都充分体现了量表的结构。内容效度指数（CVI）为 0.93。根据效度分析得出的确认性因素分析结果，量表的拟合指数为 χ2/df = 2.21，量表具有单因素结构。此外，模型的其他良好拟合指数也表明所提出的模型是可以接受的[GFI= .94，RMSEA= .074，CFI= .98，AGFI= .90，NFI= .97]。
