This study aimed to review all existing instruments to summarize the current knowledge on the development of existing measurement instruments and their possible translation and validation in other languages different from the original languages.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec002\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar on all published papers on health literacy instrument development and psychometric properties in English biomedical journals from 1993 to the end of 2021.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings were summarized and synthesized on several headings, including general instruments, condition specific health literacy instruments (disease &amp; content), population- specific instruments, and electronic health. Overall, 4848 citations were retrieved. After removing duplicates (n = 2336) and non-related papers (n = 2175), 361 studies (162 papers introducing an instrument and 199 papers reporting translation and psychometric properties of an original instrument) were selected for the final review. The original instruments included 39 general health literacy instruments, 90 condition specific (disease or content) health literacy instruments, 22 population- specific instruments, and 11 electronic health literacy instruments. Almost all papers reported reliability and validity, and the findings indicated that most existing health literacy instruments benefit from some relatively good psychometric properties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review highlighted that there were more than enough instruments for measuring health literacy. In addition, we found that a number of instruments did not report psychometric properties sufficiently. However, evidence suggest that well developed instruments and those reported adequate measures of validation could be helpful if appropriately selected based on objectives of a given study. Perhaps an authorized institution such as World Health Organization should take responsibility and provide a clear guideline for measuring health literacy as appropriate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0271524","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,15]],"date-time":"2022-07-15T17:33:39Z","timestamp":1657906419000},"page":"e0271524","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":128,"title":["Measuring health literacy: A systematic review and bibliometric analysis of instruments from 1993 to 2021"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Mahmoud","family":"Tavousi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samira","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jila","family":"Sadighi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Zarei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramin Mozafari","family":"Kermani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahele","family":"Rostami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5198-9539","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ali","family":"Montazeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1_suppl","key":"pone.0271524.ref001","first-page":"1","article-title":"Health education as social policy.","volume":"2","author":"SK Simonds","year":"1974","journal-title":"Health Educ."},{"key":"pone.0271524.ref002","volume-title":"Health literacy: A prescription to end confusion","author":"DA Kindig","year":"2004"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0271524.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"340","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/dal033","article-title":"WHO health promotion glossary: New terms.","volume":"21","author":"BJ Smith","year":"2006","journal-title":"Health Promot Int"},{"key":"pone.0271524.ref004","volume-title":"Health Literacy.
