Health Literacy and Health Outcomes in Diabetes: A Systematic Review
Reads0
Chats0
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: Low literacy is associated with less diabetes-related knowledge and may be related to other important health outcomes, but it is unclear if these interventions can reduce literacy-related differences in outcomes.

Psychosocial factors in medication adherence and diabetes self-management: Implications for research and practice.
TL;DR: Recommendations are made for continued research emphasis on improving psychosocial aspects of living with diabetes, with greater attention to the situational context in which the self-regulatory processes underlying self-management occur.

Science Literacy: Concepts, Contexts, and Consequences
TL;DR: Science literacy is desirable not only for individuals, but also for the health and well-being of communities and society as discussed by the authors. But science literacy has traditionally been seen as the responsibility of individuals, and, as a result, individual science literacy is limited or enhanced by the circumstances of that nesting.

The Literacy Divide: Health Literacy and the Use of an Internet-Based Patient Portal in an Integrated Health System—Results from the Diabetes Study of Northern California (DISTANCE)

TL;DR: Diabetes patients reporting limited health literacy were less likely to both access and navigate an internet-based patient portal than those with adequate health literacy, and those most at risk for poor diabetes health outcomes will fall further behind if health systems increasingly rely on internet- based services.

Literacy and Child Health: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Low caregiver literacy is common and is associated with poor preventive care behaviors and poor child health outcomes, and future research should aim to ameliorate literacy-associated child health disparities.

Association of Health Literacy With Self-Management Behavior in Patients With Diabetes

Associations between health literacy, diabetes knowledge, self-care behaviors, and glycemic control in a low income population with type 2 diabetes.
TL;DR: Diabetes knowledge and perceived health status are the most important factors associated with glycemic control in this population of type 2 diabetes and health literacy appears to exert its influence through diabetes knowledge and is not directly related to self-care or medication adherence.
