Thus far, there is no instrument available measuring COVID-19 related health literacy of healthcare professionals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an instrument assessing COVID-19 related health literacy in healthcare professionals (HL-COV-HP) and evaluate its psychometric properties.
An exploratory factor analysis, a confirmatory factor analysis, and descriptive analyses were conducted using data from = 965 healthcare professionals. Health literacy related to COVID-19 was measured with 12 items, which were adapted from the validated HLS-EU-Q16 instrument measuring general health literacy.
Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that 12 items loaded on one component. After removing one item due to its high standardized residual covariance, the confirmatory factor analysis of a one-factor model with 11 items showed satisfactory model fit (χ = 199.340, df = 41, χ/df = 4.862, < 0.001, RMSEA = 0.063, CFI = 0.963 and TLI = 0.951). The HL-COV-HP instrument showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.87) and acceptable construct reliability.
The HL-COV-HP is a reliable, valid, and feasible instrument to assess the COVID-19 related health literacy in healthcare professionals. It can be used in hospitals or other healt hcare settings to assess the motivation and ability of healthcare professionals to find, understand, evaluate, and use COVID-19 information.
迄今为止,尚无用于测量医护人员 COVID-19 相关健康素养的工具。因此,本研究旨在开发一种评估医护人员 COVID-19 相关健康素养的工具(HL-COV-HP),并评估其心理测量学特性。
使用来自 = 965 名医护人员的数据进行探索性因子分析、验证性因子分析和描述性分析。与 COVID-19 相关的健康素养使用 12 个项目进行测量,这些项目改编自经过验证的 HLS-EU-Q16 工具,用于测量一般健康素养。
探索性因子分析表明,12 个项目可加载到一个组件上。由于标准残差协方差较高,删除一个项目后,具有 11 个项目的单因素模型的验证性因子分析显示出良好的模型拟合度(χ = 199.340,df = 41,χ/df = 4.862, < 0.001,RMSEA = 0.063,CFI = 0.963 和 TLI = 0.951)。HL-COV-HP 工具具有良好的内部一致性(Cronbach's alpha 0.87)和可接受的结构可靠性。
HL-COV-HP 是一种可靠、有效且可行的工具,可用于评估医护人员的 COVID-19 相关健康素养。它可以在医院或其他医疗保健环境中使用,以评估医护人员寻找、理解、评估和使用 COVID-19 信息的动机和能力。
