BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Health literacy is an essential skill for today's health care consumers. The growth in use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) adds to the complexity of being sufficiently health literate. The purpose of this article is to describe the initial psychometric evaluation of the "Montana State University (MSU) CAM Health Literacy Scale," a newly developed instrument to measure an individual's health literacy about CAM.
METHODS
Exploratory factor analyses, reliabilities, and conceptual considerations were used.
RESULTS
The outcome is a 21-item instrument with Cronbach's alpha of .753 and 42.27% explained variance. Convergent validity assessments revealed weak but significant correlations between the scale and measures of general health literacy.
CONCLUSIONS
The MSU CAM Health Literacy Scale has promise for use in future research and clinical endeavors.
背景与目的
健康素养是当今医疗消费者的一项基本技能。补充和替代医学（CAM）使用的增加，使得具备足够的健康素养变得更加复杂。本文旨在描述“蒙大拿州立大学（MSU）补充和替代医学健康素养量表”的初步心理测量学评估，这是一种新开发的用于测量个体对补充和替代医学的健康素养的工具。
方法
采用探索性因素分析、信度分析和概念考量。
结果
最终形成了一个包含21个条目的工具，克朗巴哈系数为0.753，解释方差为42.27%。收敛效度评估显示该量表与一般健康素养测量之间存在微弱但显著的相关性。
结论
蒙大拿州立大学补充和替代医学健康素养量表有望用于未来的研究和临床实践。
