To validate the construct and test the reliability of the Brazilian version of Hypertension Knowledge-Level Scale.
Methodological research with 220 participants in a primary health care unit from Curitiba, Paraná. The data were collected with a social demographic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of the scale. The construct validity and reliability were assessed using Cronbach's Alpha, Pearson's Correlation and Analysis of Variance. The discriminant validity was verified comparing groups of people with hypertension and without, using T test.
Cronbach's Alpha was 0.74. The groups comparison showed that people with hypertension had better results (p<0,001). Pearson's Correlation showed that the questions measure different aspects of the same construct, justifying its organization in subdimensions.
The Brazilian version of Hypertension Knowledge-Level Scale is a reliable instrument, which had its construct and criterion validated to measure knowledge about hypertension among Brazilian people. It can help health professionals with planning educative actions.
验证高血压知识水平量表巴西版的结构并检验其可靠性。
在巴拉那州库里蒂巴的一个基层医疗单位进行了一项方法学研究，共纳入 220 名参与者。使用社会人口学问卷和量表的巴西版收集数据。使用 Cronbach's Alpha、Pearson 相关分析和方差分析评估结构效度和信度。通过 T 检验比较高血压患者和非高血压患者的组间差异，验证判别效度。
Cronbach's Alpha 为 0.74。组间比较显示，高血压患者的得分更好（p<0.001）。Pearson 相关分析表明，这些问题测量了同一结构的不同方面，证明了它可以分为子维度。
高血压知识水平量表巴西版是一种可靠的工具，其结构和效标已得到验证，可用于衡量巴西人对高血压的知识水平。它可以帮助卫生专业人员规划教育性干预措施。
