目的和目标。本研究的目的是开发和评估中文版青少年功能健康素养简式测试的心理测量特性。背景。评估健康素养对于设计健康教育计划至关重要；然而，目前还没有专门针对中国青少年的测量工具。设计。采用非实验设计来测试青少年功能健康素养测试的心理测量特性。方法。青少年功能健康素养简短测试已被翻译并回译为中文版本。招募了 30 名高中生来验证青少年功能健康素养测试的场景。本研究基于多阶段分层随机抽样方法，邀请来自台湾四个县的300名高中生参与，评估青少年功能健康素养测试的心理测量特性。结果。青少年功能健康素养具有良好的内部一致性信度和优异的测试信度。验证性因素分析得出单因素解决方案。结论。与青少年功能健康素养测试的原始版本相反，研究结果表明，青少年功能健康素养测试的 36 项、单因素模型是最佳拟合模型。与临床实践的相关性。这是在适当规划、实施和评估健康教育项目之前评估中国青少年健康素养水平的合适工具。
Aims and objectives. The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of short-form Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents. Background. Assessing health literacy is vital to design health education programme; however, there are no measurement tools exist for use specifically in Chinese adolescents. Design. A non-experimental design was used to test the psychometric properties of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents. Methods. The short-form Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents was translated and back translated into a Chinese language version. Thirty high school students were recruited to validate the scenario of Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents. Based on the multiple-stage stratified random sampling method, 300 high school students from four counties in Taiwan were invited to participate in this study to evaluate the psychometric properties of Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents. Results. The Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents had good internal consistency reliability and excellent testretest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a one-factor solution. Conclusion. Contrary to the original version of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents, the findings revealed that the 36-item, one-factor model for the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adolescents is the best-fit model. Relevance to clinical practice. This is a suitable instrument to assess health literacy levels in Chinese adolescents before health education programmes can be appropriately planned, implemented and evaluated.
