Abstract:

Were evaluated psychometric properties of the Health Literacy Scale – 14 (HLS-14) for Portuguese (Brazilian). In the methodological study with a cross-sectional design, were performed: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and evaluation of the psychometric properties.After passing through a committee of experts, translated and adapted, the instrument was pre-tested in 52 adults and applied to 143 adults and elderly of Piracicaba-SP.Internal consistency was assessed using the Kendall correlation coefficient and Cronbach\'s alpha (>0.70) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the chi-square test, the Standardized Residual Mean Square Root (SRMR), the Root Mean Square Of The Approximation Errors (RMSEA)(0.95) and the Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI)(>0.95).The operational equivalence showed agreement between most of the questions, with the exception of questions 6, 8, 9 and 14. The Cronbach\'s alpha was 0.82.There was a reasonable adjustment in the CFA: CFI=0.886, TLI=0.86, RMSEA=0,085 (90%CI: 0,065-0,105), SRMR=0,071, qui-square (74 degrees of freedom)=149.510, p
