Özet:

 Objective: This study was conducted on the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Mental Health Literacy Scale MHLq in young adults. Methods: This methodological investigation was carried out throughout the 20182019 academic year at a public university. The MHL, created by Dias et al. in 2018, and a sociodemographic data form were used to gather the data. 350 students between the ages of 18 and 25 participated in the study. Results: The scale was translated from the original language into Turkish, professional opinion was sought, and to translate it into Turkish, a pilot study was conducted. The content validity index, confirmatory factor analysis, item analyses, reliability, Cronbachs alpha analysis, and test-retest scores were used to test the scale validity as well as its construct validity, internal consistency, and time invariance. The scale is four-dimensional, as was found. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scales item loads varied between 0.40 and 0.73 while its content validity was 0.98. Its 0.91 Cronbachs alpha value was discovered. The participants average mental health literacy scores were 84.457.80. Conclusions: The analyses made showed that the MHLq could be safely used as a measurement tool for young adults mental health literacy.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, Ruh Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeğinin MHLq genç erişkinlerde Türkçe geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışması üzerine yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu metodolojik araştırma, 20182019 akademik yılı boyunca bir devlet üniversitesinde gerçekleştirildi. Dias ve diğerleri tarafından oluşturulan MHL. 2018 yılında veri toplama aracı olarak sosyodemografik veri formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya 18-25 yaş arası 350 öğrenci katılmıştır. Bulgular: Ölçek orijinal dilinden Türkçeye çevrilmiş, profesyonel görüş alınmış ve Türkçeye çevrilmesi için pilot çalışma yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerliliği, yapı geçerliliği, iç tutarlılığı ve zamanla değişmezliği test etmek için içerik geçerlik indeksi, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, madde analizleri, güvenilirlik, Cronbach alfa analizi ve test-tekrar test puanları kullanılmıştır. Ölçek görüldüğü gibi dört boyutludur. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ölçeğin madde yüklerinin 0.40 ile 0.73 arasında değiştiğini ve kapsam geçerliliğinin 0.98 olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. 0.91 Cronbach alfa değeri keşfedildi. Katılımcıların ortalama ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı puanları 84,457,80dir. Sonuç: Yapılan analizler, MHLqnin genç yetişkinlerin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı için bir ölçüm aracı olarak güvenle kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.
