Stages of study: First: Translation and preparation of the Persian version of the health literacy questionnaire in order to design and select items and their qualitative evaluation by the second group: Quantitative evaluation of narrative features using the opinions of the third group of experts: Formal narrative evaluation (comprehensibility) and The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by a small group of the target population in a fourth experimental study: analysis of items, validity assessment and reliability of the final questionnaire.
Results: In the analysis of organizational structure items, the effects of roof and floor were not observed. The highest averages were for items 8 and 12 and the lowest averages were for items 6. According to the Skewness Index, no deviation was observed in the items. Based on the results, the instrument had acceptable internal stability. Detective factor analysis identified two factors for the Diabetes Health Literacy Questionnaire: one was individual understanding and the second was social support.
