The scale was first translated into Turkish by two independent translators and then back-translated into English by two different translators. The final analytical sample included 298 adults aged 19\u201370 years (117 females, 181 males). To assess temporal stability, 60 randomly selected participants completed the scale again after 7\u201310 days.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Test\u2013retest reliability demonstrated excellent agreement using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC = 0.912;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). The Spearman rank-order correlation also indicated very strong temporal stability (r = 0.920;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). After excluding two outliers, EFA revealed adequate communalities (0.546\u20130.894) and supported the multidimensional structure, with the final 26-item version explaining 78.07% of the total variance. Internal consistency was high across subscales (\u03b1 = 0.84\u20130.93) and for the total scale (\u03b1 = 0.936), and split-half coefficients further confirmed strong reliability. CFA verified the validity of the multidimensional construct, demonstrating acceptable model fit after minor modifications (RMSEA = 0.063; GFI = 0.900; AGFI = 0.850; CFI = 0.943; \u03c7\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    = 606.465;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The Turkish version of the HeLD-29 was demonstrated to be a reliable and valid instrument for assessing oral health literacy in Turkish adults.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0265539x261475102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,6]],"date-time":"2026-08-06T02:03:07Z","timestamp":1785981787000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version of the health literacy in Dentistry Scale-29 (HeLD-29)"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Gizem","family":"Ayan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Beng\u00fc","family":"Do\u011fu Kaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehmet","family":"Buldur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c7anakkale Onsekiz Mart University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecns.2012.12.001"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-025-24904-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","first-page":"309","article-title":"Evaluation of oral health literacy level and oral health-related quality of life in patients admitted to a university hospital","volume":"32","author":"Arslangiray \u00d6","year":"2025","unstructured":"Arslangiray \u00d6, \u00d6ns\u00fcz MF, \u00dcnsal A, et al.
