Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Health literacy (HL) is a concept covering a range of cognitive and social skills that comprises aspects necessary for patients to navigate in the healthcare system. Our study aimed to investigate HL in patients with liver cirrhosis and determine factors associated with low HL. METHODS:Data were collected among outpatients with cirrhosis (n = 108), using three dimensions from the Health Literacy Questionnaire. The selected dimensions were: 'Social support for health' (Social support scale), 'Ability to actively engage with healthcare providers' (Engagement scale), and 'Understand health information well enough to know what to do' (Information scale). Unpaired t-test was used to investigate differences on the HLQ scale scores. The effect sizes (ES) were calculated between groups using Cohen's d. RESULTS:A total of 105 patients completed the questionnaire. Mean age of respondents was 60.6 years (45.5% females). A majority had alcoholic liver cirrhosis (64.8%) and 36.2% were living alone. Males had a low level of Social support HL (p < .05). Having an education level <12 years was also associated with low level of Social support HL (p < .05). All ESs were characterized as small. CONCLUSIONS:Male outpatients with liver cirrhosis were found to have low levels of HL, so were patients with low education. In order to effectively communicate and support patients to self-manage their disease, healthcare providers can benefit from including a focus on HL in planning and delivering health care to patients with liver cirrhosis.
