PURPOSE
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the impact of language-free, low literacy self-care management patient education materials in an ethnically diverse multilingual heart failure (HF) population.
METHODS
A one group pre-test-post-test design measured changes in self-care, knowledge and health-related quality of life (HRQL) after a 1 month intervention using language-free, low literacy self-care management patient education materials and delivered by a health educator.
RESULTS
The ethnically diverse sample (n=21) was predominately male (72%), 48% Black, 42% Hispanic, and 28% marginal/inadequate literacy. There were significant improvements in self-care and knowledge but not HRQL.
CONCLUSIONS
Language-free, low literacy self-care patient education may facilitate improved self-care and knowledge in diverse populations who are at risk for poor HF outcomes.
目的
本试点研究的目的是测试无语言障碍、低识字水平的自我护理管理患者教育材料对不同种族、多语言的心力衰竭（HF）人群的影响。
方法
采用单组前后测设计，在使用无语言障碍、低识字水平的自我护理管理患者教育材料并由健康教育者进行为期1个月的干预后，测量自我护理、知识和健康相关生活质量（HRQL）的变化。
结果
不同种族的样本（n = 21）以男性为主（72%），48%为黑人，42%为西班牙裔，28%识字水平较低/不足。自我护理和知识有显著改善，但HRQL没有改善。
结论
无语言障碍、低识字水平的自我护理患者教育可能有助于改善HF预后较差风险较高的不同人群的自我护理和知识水平。
