We aimed to translate and adapt the Digital Health Literacy (DHL) Instrument into Brazilian Portuguese and examine the content validity for individuals with heart failure (HF). <b>Methods:</b> The instrument was translated, back translated, and evaluated by a panel of six experts regarding linguistic equivalences. An agreement analysis was performed, with values ≥80% considered acceptable. The experts then evaluated clarity, theoretical relevance, and practical pertinence. The content validity index (CVI) was calculated for each item. A CVI ≥.83 was considered acceptable. The expert's opinions were also evaluated through the modified kappa coefficient for content validity studies. Values >.74 were considered excellent.
