Objective To develop the Digital Health Literacy Scale for the Hypertension Patients in Community, and to provide a multi-dimensional assessment tool for healthcare professionals to understand the digital literacy of hypertensive patients.Methods Based on the Transaction Model of eHealth Literacy, literature review, semi-structured interview, Delphic method and pre-survery were used to form the Digital Health Literacy Pretest Scale for Hypertensive Patients in Community.A total of 623 patients with hypertension in community were selected for reliability and validity test.Results The Digital Health Literacy Scale for Hypertension Patients in the Community consisted of 4 dimensions and 35 items, including functional digital health literacy, interactive digital health literacy, evaluative digital health literacy, transformational digital health literacy.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 65.320%.Confirmatory factor analysis showed χ2/df=1.759, RMSEA=0.051, AGFI=0.816, GFI=0.839, NFI=0.864, CFI=0.936, IFI=0.936, and TLI=0.931.The content validity index at the scale level was 0.963.The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.970, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.929; and the test-retest reliability was 0.932.Conclusion The Digital Health Literacy Scale for Hypertensive Patients in Community has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the level of digital health literacy of hypertensive patients in the community.
