Health Literacy and Health Outcomes in Diabetes: A Systematic Review
Reads0

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

Effects of health literacy interventions on health-related outcomes in socioeconomically disadvantaged adults living in the community: a systematic review.
TL;DR: To improve health-related outcomes among socioeconomically disadvantaged people, health literacy interventions are more likely to be successful if they are theory-based, are multi-faceted and use person-centered operational components such as cultural appropriateness, tailoring, skills building, goal setting and active discussions.

A path model linking health literacy, medication self-efficacy, medication adherence, and glycemic control.
TL;DR: Enhancing patients' medication self-efficacy and numeracy skills may be imperative in intervention programs to improve diabetes medication adherence.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the ordering of mediators in the pathway between health literacy and health outcome may be complex, help explain the conflicting results of the past, and form a basis for the development of interventions promoting self-management of diabetes through glycemic control.

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.

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.
