The World Health Organization (WHO) points to health literacy as an important factor in prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including COPD.
To investigate associations between selected demographic and clinical variables, psychological well-being and health literacy.
Health literacy was measured using the nine domain Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) and one domain from the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ). Using data from a cross-sectional sample of 158 people with COPD, recruited from a hospital-based patient list period (2014-2016), multiple regression analyses were performed.
The strongest associated variables with health literacy were psychological well-being, measured by the WHO-5 well-being index and education, indicating that higher psychological well-being and educational level are associated with higher levels of health literacy.
The present study highlights the importance of specifically looking to psychological factors in determining potentially health literacy needs among people with COPD.
世界卫生组织（WHO）指出，健康素养是非传染性疾病（NCD），包括 COPD 在内的预防和控制的一个重要因素。
调查选定的人口统计学和临床变量、心理幸福感与健康素养之间的关联。
使用九域健康素养问卷（HLQ）和电子健康素养问卷（eHLQ）的一个域来测量健康素养。利用 2014-2016 年期间从医院患者名单中招募的 158 名 COPD 患者的横断面样本数据，进行了多元回归分析。
与健康素养关联最强的变量是心理健康，通过 WHO-5 幸福感指数来衡量，以及教育程度，表明更高的心理健康和教育水平与更高的健康素养水平相关。
本研究强调了在确定 COPD 患者潜在的健康素养需求时，特别关注心理因素的重要性。
