The second phase was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of thequestionnaire.RESULTS: The content validity index and content validity ratio values of all items were >0.62 and0.79, respectively. Based on the Kuder–Richardson formula, the reliability of the knowledge dimensionwas reported as 0.7. Furthermore, split‑half coefficient for inter‑rather reliability and test–retest were0.76 and 0.96, respectively. The reliability of their experiences with the HL‑KES was measured usingCronbach’s alpha, in which it was 0.82.CONCLUSIONS: The Persian version of the instrument for assessing nurses’ knowledge andexperience with health literacy had good validity and reliability. It is recommended that it should beused in educational, clinical environments, and also in future research studies.
