This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Health Literacy for School-Aged Children (HLSAC-T) scale. This study was a cross-sectional and methodological design. The sample consisted of 563 sixth and ninth grade students in Izmir, Turkey. Data were collected with the socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, HLSAC-T, and Turkish version of the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile. Cronbach's α for the scale was .77 and item-total correlations were between .49 and .61 ( p < .001). The model fit indices were determined to be the root mean square error of approximation at .035, the goodness of fit index at .99, and the comparative fit index at .99. The concordance validity and convergent validity were supported and the discriminant validity suggested that the scale successfully discriminated students who cared about healthy lifestyle from the students who did not. The HLSAC-T showed an adequate reliability and validity for determining the subjective health literacy of Turkish school-aged children. The results showed promise that the scale could be translated into other languages.
本研究旨在评估学龄儿童健康素养土耳其语版量表（HLSAC-T）的有效性和可靠性。本研究采用横断面和方法学设计。样本包括土耳其伊兹密尔的563名六年级和九年级学生。通过社会人口学特征问卷、HLSAC-T和青少年生活方式概况土耳其语版收集数据。该量表的Cronbach's α为0.77，项目与总分的相关性在0.49至0.61之间（p < 0.001）。模型拟合指数确定为近似均方根误差为0.035，拟合优度指数为0.99，比较拟合指数为0.99。支持了一致性效度和收敛效度，判别效度表明该量表成功地区分了关心健康生活方式的学生和不关心的学生。HLSAC-T在确定土耳其学龄儿童的主观健康素养方面显示出足够的可靠性和有效性。结果表明该量表有望被翻译成其他语言。
