As sensory loss may impact the ability to receive and apply health information, a relationship between sensory loss and health literacy may exist. The purpose of this systematic review was to explore the relationship between hearing, vision and dual sensory loss and health literacy in older adults.
Studies examining the relationship between sensory loss and health literacy in older adult populations using a validated health literacy instrument were included. The search was conducted in the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, AgeLine and REHABdata databases in May-June 2021.
Nine studies were included. Findings revealed a positive association between hearing and vision loss and low health literacy.
This review highlights a relationship between hearing and vision loss and low health literacy. The small number of studies and overall heterogeneity of study methods limits strength of this evidence. Individuals with sensory loss may benefit from additional clinician support in receiving and applying health information.
由于感觉丧失可能会影响接收和应用健康信息的能力,因此感觉丧失与健康素养之间可能存在关系。本系统评价的目的是探讨老年人听力、视力和双重感觉丧失与健康素养之间的关系。
纳入了使用经过验证的健康素养工具研究老年人感觉丧失与健康素养之间关系的研究。检索于 2021 年 5 月至 6 月在 CINAHL、PubMed、Scopus、AgeLine 和 REHABdata 数据库中进行。
纳入了 9 项研究。结果表明听力和视力丧失与低健康素养呈正相关。
本综述强调了听力和视力丧失与低健康素养之间的关系。研究方法的总体异质性限制了这一证据的强度。有感觉丧失的个体可能受益于额外的临床医生支持,以接收和应用健康信息。
