Background Informational overload hinders the recognition of quality information and influences a population's health-related decisions. In this context, media health literacy aims to promote citizens' critical analysis skills, contributing to informed decision-making. This study aims to identify the instruments used to measure the level of media health literacy and their psychometric properties.
A systematic review of the scientific literature was performed in 2023. The articles were extracted from the electronic databases "Pubmed", "Web of Science", "Dialnet", and "Scopus". The search languages were limited to English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Twelve articles were selected for further analysis. The described measurement instruments included five original scales and seven cross-cultural adaptations of three of them. Four scales (the Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Media Literacy scale adapted to Turkish and Chinese, along with the Media Health Literacy (MeHLit) scale and its adaptation to the Chinese language) exhibited high quality in the assessment of psychometric properties.
These instruments allow for the measurement of an individual's level of skill when consuming specific health information, enabling an analysis to understand the risk they are exposed to. Further research is recommended to strengthen the existing evidence and apply these tools to broader and more diverse populations.
背景 信息过载阻碍了对优质信息的识别，并影响人们与健康相关的决策。在此背景下，媒体健康素养旨在提升公民的批判性分析能力，促进明智的决策制定。本研究旨在确定用于衡量媒体健康素养水平的工具及其心理测量特性。
2023年对科学文献进行了系统综述。文章从电子数据库“PubMed”、“科学网”、“Dialnet”和“Scopus”中提取。搜索语言限于英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语。
选取了12篇文章进行进一步分析。所描述的测量工具包括五个原创量表以及其中三个量表的七个跨文化改编版本。四个量表（改编为土耳其语和中文的含糖饮料媒体素养量表，以及媒体健康素养（MeHLit）量表及其中文改编版）在心理测量特性评估中表现出高质量。
这些工具能够测量个体在获取特定健康信息时的技能水平，从而有助于分析其面临的风险。建议进一步开展研究，以强化现有证据，并将这些工具应用于更广泛、更多样化的人群。
