Abstract
Structures and regulations of healthcare systems in many countries have become increasingly complex and difficult for patients and users to navigate. Thus, more than ever before, navigational health literacy (NAV-HL) is needed by patients. There are no data on NAV-HL in Russia due to the lack of suitable concepts and measuring tools. Therefore, the study aimed to validate the HLS19 navigational health literacy assessment tool (HLS19-NAV) for the Russian-speaking population. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the validation process, including a comprehensibility check and psychometric analysis. Overall, the results of the HLS19-NAV-RU validation demonstrate the partial validity of the NAV-HL tool in the Russian language. Nevertheless, the instrument can be recommended for further research and use in health literacy studies in Russia.
