Abstract
Background and Objective: In the health sector, students' ability to filter incoming information and make sound decisions is critical. The purpose of this research is to create a digital health literacy measurement tool for health students.
 Methods: This research is a study of developing a digital health literacy measurement tool for health faculty students whose validity and reliability have been tested. Online questionnaires were distributed to 337 active students. The questionnaire went through several stages of development, including literature review, expert review, trial and field test. 
 Results: The questionnaires related to digital competence and health literacy were used to conduct the literature review. Following various reviews, the main references for this research are "Digital competency framework for citizens-DigComp 2.1" and "Health literacy scale." According to the expert's opinion, the invalid (unimportant) questions were "I can distinguish appropriate and inappropriate digital content to share on social media so that my privacy and that of others are not jeopardized." and "I know how to find useful health information on the internet." Questions were removed in order to be distributed to trials. According to the test results, all questions meet the validity assumption. The Pilot Test results were tested on 337 respondents during the field test stage to ensure that all valid questions and question items were accepted.
 Discussion: This study found 24 good questions to measure digital health literacy based on nine indicators, namely: Access to Health Information (2 questions), health information management (2 question), integration of health information (2 questions), and evaluation of health information (2 questions), information and data literacy (2 question), communication (1 question), collaboration (2 question), digital content creation (2 question), safety (4 questions), and problem-solving (5 questions).
