Limited patient literacy contributes to poorer health status, increased emergency room and hospital use, higher morbidity and mortality rates, and less use of preventive health services. All patients, however, need health information that is accurate, accessible, and actionable to make informed decisions about their health. A universal health literacy precautions approach is recommended to empower patients through shared decision-making interactions. Consistent use of evidence-based health literacy practices by front-line nurses offers the potential for transformations in nursing care through stronger patient-nurse interactions and health system partnerships.
患者文化程度有限会导致健康状况较差、急诊室和医院就诊次数增加、发病率和死亡率升高以及预防性健康服务利用率降低。然而，所有患者都需要准确、易于获取且可行的健康信息，以便就自身健康做出明智的决策。建议采用通用的健康素养预防方法，通过共同决策互动增强患者的能力。一线护士持续采用基于证据的健康素养实践，有可能通过加强护患互动和卫生系统伙伴关系来转变护理服务。
