PMID 41504531WHAT IT FOUND
The Indonesian dementia literacy questionnaire gave consistent answers in older adults, but some parts may overlap.
Use it to ask patients and families about confidence finding and using dementia information and services.
Key findings
01The Indonesian version was tested in 319 older adults, and all submitted valid responses with no missing data.
02The full questionnaire showed excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of .934.
03The evaluation and engagement and practical aspects parts may measure similar things, so scores for those parts should not be treated as fully separate.

What it does not show
The sample was older adults in one Indonesian city, and people who could not read or had known psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment were excluded. The original scale had been tested in people taking an online dementia course, while this study used community older adults, so the results may not transfer directly. The authors report concerns about convergent and discriminant validity, especially overlap between the evaluation and engagement and practical aspects domains, and say further validation is needed.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this validation as evidence that the questionnaire improves dementia care or patient outcomes. It was tested only as a measurement tool in older adults, and the authors report validity concerns.
