This mixed methods research paper explores health literacy (HL) in individuals with alcohol addiction by using the 47-item version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47) and semi-structured interviews concerning health-related competencies (access, understand, appraise, and apply health information), and determines the limitations of the HLS-EU-Q47 when used under specific conditions of clinical practice. The questionnaire survey and the interviews were conducted with individuals of different health literacy levels who were undergoing inpatient alcohol addiction treatment. The findings indicate that individuals with alcohol addiction might require different types of health information according to their health literacy level in terms of quantity and quality of information to recover from alcohol addiction and improve their overall health. The implications for the clinical practice of addiction treatment as well as recommendations for national and regional policy are also discussed.
这篇混合方法研究论文通过使用欧洲健康素养调查问卷（HLS-EU-Q47）的 47 项版本和关于与健康相关的能力（获取、理解、评估和应用健康信息）的半结构化访谈，研究了酗酒者的健康素养（HL），并确定了在特定临床实践条件下使用 HLS-EU-Q47 的局限性。问卷调查和访谈是在接受住院酒精成瘾治疗的不同健康素养水平的个体中进行的。研究结果表明，酗酒者可能需要根据自己的健康素养水平，获取不同类型的健康信息，无论是在信息的数量还是质量上，以帮助他们从酒精成瘾中恢复并改善整体健康。此外，还讨论了这些发现对成瘾治疗的临床实践以及国家和地区政策的建议。
