Background: Training nurses in health literacy and improving their communication with patients are crucial for increasing positive health outcomes. Therefore, programs aimed at enhancing the health literacy awareness of nurses and other health professionals, along with developing measurement tools to assess the effectiveness of these programs, should be organized.

Aim: This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Health Literacy Training Survey for Healthcare Providers (HLTSHP-T).

Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 230 clinical nurses in Türkiye. The personal information form, the HLTSHP-T, and the Health Literacy Scale were used for data collection. Content validity, item analysis, construct validity, concordance validity, convergent validity, internal consistency, and item-total correlation were used for the analysis of the psychometric properties.

Results: Cronbach's α value for the overall scale was 0.93 and ranged between 0.87 and 0.90 for the subscales, while item-total correlations ranged from 0.56 to 0.83 (P < 0.001). The confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the scale items were compatible with the subscales and that the items could identify the factors to which they were related.

Conclusion: HLTSHP-T is considered a valid and reliable tool for assessing the health literacy education of Turkish nurses.
