This study sought to validate the HLS-Q12 in Spain and in the Spanish language, as well as describe the sociodemographic profile and the general health literacy of the study population.
Descriptive cross-sectional.
Factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha were used to validate the Spanish version of the HLS-Q12. Health literacy scores and associated categories were calculated using the scale factsheet, and the patient population sociodemographic profile was determined using frequency analysis.
The HLS-Q12 used in Spain in the Spanish language was found to be both valid and reliable (Cronbach's alpha = 0.87). The sociodemographic profile was primarily male and aged, and the majority of patients were of Spanish origin and had diabetes. General patient health literacy was limited, with 60% of participants having general health literacy categorized as inadequate or problematic, and 40 % sufficient or excellent.
This study validated the HLS-Q12 in Spain, created a sociodemographic profile of the sample population, and calculated their health literacy scores. This contribution provides another valuable validated tool and associated data to the increasingly important field of health literacy.
本研究旨在验证健康素养量表简版（HLS-Q12）在西班牙及西班牙语环境下的有效性，并描述研究人群的社会人口学特征和总体健康素养。
描述性横断面研究。
采用因子分析和克朗巴哈系数（Cronbach's alpha）来验证西班牙语版的HLS-Q12。使用量表概况表计算健康素养得分及相关类别，并通过频率分析确定患者人群的社会人口学特征。
发现在西班牙使用的西班牙语版HLS-Q12有效且可靠（克朗巴哈系数 = 0.87）。社会人口学特征主要为男性且年龄较大，大多数患者为西班牙裔且患有糖尿病。患者总体健康素养有限，60%的参与者总体健康素养被归类为不足或有问题，40%为充分或优秀。
本研究在西班牙验证了HLS-Q12，创建了样本人群的社会人口学特征，并计算了他们的健康素养得分。这一贡献为日益重要的健康素养领域提供了另一个有价值的经过验证的工具和相关数据。
