Abstract:

Objective To conduct a systematic evaluation of Chinese version of medication literacy assessment tools.Methods Databases including PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,Scopus,CINAHL,CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,and SinoMed were searched for studies related to Chinese version of adult medication literacy assessment tools from the establishment of the databases to November 27,2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the measurement properties of the assessment tools and the methodological quality of the related studies based on the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments(COSMIN). Final recommendations were formed according to the modified systematic review evidence grading method.Results A total of 16 articles were included,none of which reported on the cross-cultural validity,measurement error,or responsiveness of the assessment tools. Five assessment tools were recommended as Grade A due to low-quality evidence supporting their content validity and internal consistency as “adequate”,while the remaining assessment tools were recommended as Grade B.Conclusion There is a diversity of Chinese version of adult medication literacy assessment tools,but their quality varies. Five assessment tools,including the Analgesic Medication Literacy Questionnaire for Cancer Pain Patients,can be recommended for temporary use,albeit their measurement properties still require further validation.
