This study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the 29-item original version of the Death Literacy Index (DLI) in Turkish society. The scale was applied on a sample of 436 Turkish adults determined using the snowball sampling method. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. The scale consisted of 6 subscales. The test-retest analysis of this study showed a strong and highly significant positive correlation between overall DLI (.98) and its subscales (.73-.98). The total Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of DLI was found to be .90. It was observed that the Turkish version of DLI was a valid and reliable tool and suitable for use in Turkish society.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessend-of-life caredeath literacy indexreliabilityvaliditycultureTurkeyArticle88380782210.1177/00302228221144672365103552-s2.0-85144190676Q2WOS:000896872000001Q3
