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.

Hypoglycemia is More Common Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Limited Health Literacy: The Diabetes Study of Northern California (DISTANCE)
Urmimala Sarkar,Urmimala Sarkar,Andrew J. Karter,Andrew J. Karter,Jennifer Y. Liu,Howard H. Moffet,Nancy E. Adler,Dean Schillinger +7 more
TL;DR: Efforts to reduce hypoglycemia and promote patient safety may require self-management support that is appropriate for those with limited HL, and consider more vigilant surveillance, conservative glycemic targets or avoidance of the most hypoglyCEmia-inducing medications.

Impact of chronic conditions.

TL;DR: The average impact of different chronic conditions on health status varies substantially, and urinary incontinence and arthritis/rheumatism have the greatest effect on health-related quality of life, while at older ages, Alzheimer's disease and the effects of stroke have a major impact.

TL;DR: A literacy- and numeracy-focused diabetes care program modestly improved self-efficacy and glycemic control compared with standard enhanced diabetes care, but the difference attenuated after conclusion of the intervention.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of providing literacy and numeracy-sensitive diabetes care within an enhanced diabetes care program on A1C and other diabetes outcomes, including self-efficacy, self-management behaviors, and treatment satisfaction.

Health literacy, diabetes self-care, and glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
TL;DR: The findings suggest health literacy has an indirect effect on diabetes self-care and glycemic control through its association with social support, and suggests that for patients with limited health literacy, enhancing social support would facilitate diabetes self -care and improved gly glucose control.
