Health Literacy and Health Outcomes in Diabetes: A Systematic Review

TLDR
There is little sufficient or consistent evidence suggesting that it is independently associated with processes or outcomes of diabetes-related care, and it may be premature to routinely screen for low health literacy as a means for improving diabetes- related health-related outcomes.Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Low health literacy is considered a potential barrier to improving health outcomes in people with diabetes and other chronic conditions, although the evidence has not been previously systematically reviewed.read more

TL;DR: This study aimed to assess the relationship between HL and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and concluded that low health literacy may contribute to poor self‐management of chronic kidney disease and poor kidney function.

TL;DR: Medication errors are present in approximately half of patients after hospital discharge and are more common among patients with lower numeracy or health literacy, and in multivariable analyses, higher subjective numeracy was associated with lower odds of having discordant medications.

Using WeChat official accounts to improve malaria health literacy among Chinese expatriates in Niger: an intervention study
TL;DR: The present health education intervention, via a WeChat official account, for the prevention and treatment of malaria among non-immune travellers and expatriate workers in Niger proved to be an effective, sustainable, feasible, and well accepted strategy for improving malaria health literacy among Chinese expatriates in Niger.

Family Members' Obstructive Behaviors Appear to Be More Harmful Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Limited Health Literacy
TL;DR: Involving family members in adults' self-care without teaching them to avoid obstructive behaviors may be particularly harmful for patients with limited health literacy, and intervention content to reduce obstructive family behaviors should be identified.

Biosensors Incorporating Bimetallic Nanoparticles
TL;DR: A review of electrochemical bio-sensing for target analytes based on the use of electrocatalytic bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs), which can improve both the sensitivity and selectivity of biosensors.

Low Health Literacy and Health Outcomes: An Updated Systematic Review
TL;DR: Low health literacy was consistently associated with more hospitalizations; greater use of emergency care; lower receipt of mammography screening and influenza vaccine; poorer ability to demonstrate taking medications appropriately; poorer able to interpret labels and health messages; and, among elderly persons, poorer overall health status and higher mortality rates.

The evolving concept of health literacy.
TL;DR: The paper concludes that both conceptualizations are important and are helping to stimulate a more sophisticated understanding of the process of health communication in both clinical and community settings, as well as highlighting factors impacting on its effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Literacy and health outcomes
TL;DR: Low literacy is associated with several adverse health outcomes and future research, using more rigorous methods, will better define these relationships and guide developers of new interventions.

TL;DR: Inadequate health literacy may contribute to the disproportionate burden of diabetes-related problems among disadvantaged populations and efforts should focus on developing and evaluating interventions to improve diabetes outcomes among patients with inadequate health literacy.
