Abstract: Objective To introduce and sinicize the Health literacy questionnaire for chronic disease patients in China,explore its applicability in stroke patients. Methods From January to July 2019,539 stroke patients were selected by convenience sampling method in four grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shanghai,and were investigated by the simplified Chinese version of health literacy questionnaire for chronic disease patients in China. The simplified Chinese version questionnaire was formed by the item analysis,total-sub reliability,retest reliability,structural validity,aggregation and differentiation validity,and calibration correlation validity verification,and was verified in stroke patients. Results There were statistically significant differences in 13 items in the simplified Chinese questionnaire between high and low groups(all P<0.05). The total-sub correlation coefficients were 0.317-0.442 (all P<0.01),and the Pearson correlation coefficient(PCCs) was 0.746(P<0.01).The PCCs of retest reliability was >0.8. The kaiser-meyer-olkin measure of sampling adequacy(KMO) was 0.914,the exploratory factors were extracted,the chi-square of minimum discrepancy/degree of freedom(CMIN/DF)=1.544,root of the mean square residual(RMR)=0.024,comparative fit index(CFI)=0.969,normed fit index(NFI)=0.918,incremental fit index(IFI)=0.969,goodness-of-fit index(GFI)=0.804,root-mean-square error of approximation(RMSEA)=0.066. The standardized load values range was 0.702-0.991. The combination reliability of four dimensions was 0.980,0.868,0.918 and 0.936,respectively. The average variance extracted(AVE) amount of four dimensions was 0.803,0.623,0.742 and 0.787,respectively. The square root of AVE of the four dimensions in discriminant validity was 0.896, 0.789,0.861 and 0.887,respectively. The average score of health literacy level of stroke patients was (31.51±1.35)points,which was <36 points. Conclusion Health literacy questionnaire for chronic disease patients in China is suitable for stroke patients,and the health literacy of stroke patients is in the middle level.
