Escala de Literacia em Saúde (ELS): Construção e estudo psicométrico
Main Article Content
Abstract
O presente estudo teve como objetivo a construção e validação de uma escala de literacia em saúde para a população adulta portuguesa. Foi construída a Escala de Literacia em Saúde (ELS), constituída por 111 itens, que avaliam 3 domínios - Literacia em Saúde Funcional, Comunicacional e Crítica – e que foi testada em 316 indivíduos adultos. O questionário apresenta boa sensibilidade, elevada fidelidade e boa validade interna e externa, podendo constituir-se como uma ferramenta de avaliação importante para a avaliação de necessidades de intervenção no domínio da literacia em saúde na população portuguesa.
