To evaluate health literacy (HL), assess the use of digital tools/sources, and identify factors associated with low or moderate HL in older (aged ≥65) and younger (18-64) patients with cancer.
A cross-sectional multicenter study including patients with cancer was conducted in 26 centers in France. HL was assessed using the Functional, Communicative and Critical Health Literacy (FCCHL) scale. Factors associated with low/moderate HL (score<median) were studied using logistic regression models.
The population comprised 669 patients aged 18-64 and 658 patients aged 65 + . The older patients used digital tools less than younger patients did. The median overall HL score was: 3.7 and 3.6, for younger and older patients respectively. The need for help to fill out the questionnaire was associated with low/moderate HL in both age groups. Then, older age and living in rural area were associated with low/moderate HL in younger patients only, and rare internet use in older patients.
This article highlights the importance of considering HL in care management, as well as whom patients may present higher risk of low HL.
It is crucial to assess HL in patients with cancer, and then to seize every opportunity to enhance HL.
评估健康素养(HL),评估数字工具/资源的使用情况,并确定老年(年龄≥65岁)和年轻(18 - 64岁)癌症患者中与低或中等健康素养相关的因素。
在法国的26个中心进行了一项包括癌症患者的横断面多中心研究。使用功能、沟通和批判性健康素养(FCCHL)量表评估健康素养。使用逻辑回归模型研究与低/中等健康素养(得分<中位数)相关的因素。
研究人群包括669名18 - 64岁的患者和658名65岁及以上的患者。老年患者使用数字工具的频率低于年轻患者。年轻患者和老年患者的总体健康素养得分中位数分别为3.7和3.6。两个年龄组中,填写问卷时需要帮助均与低/中等健康素养相关。此外,年龄较大和居住在农村地区仅与年轻患者的低/中等健康素养相关,而老年患者使用互联网的频率较低。
本文强调了在护理管理中考虑健康素养的重要性,以及哪些患者可能存在健康素养较低的较高风险。
对癌症患者进行健康素养评估至关重要,然后要抓住一切机会提高健康素养。
