Özet
To determine the validity and reliability of the Health Literacy Scale in Old Age in Turkish and to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. A total of 450 older individuals aged over 65 years living in a community in a province of Türkiye constituted the sample of this research. Data were collected using a personal information form, the European Health Literacy Short Form, and the Health Literacy Scale in Old Age. The Cronbach α value of the five-factor 18-item scale of four-point Likert type was 0.83, the total variance explained by the factor regarding the scale was 55.973 %, the content validity index was 0.85, and the test-retest reliability value was 0.887. The relationship between the adapted scale and the European Health Literacy Scale Short Form was 0.512. As a result, 18 items of the Health Literacy Scale in Old Age have reasonable length and reliable and valid features.
