ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the operability of the Chinese version of the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale (C-AAHLS) and the Brief Health Literacy Screening (BHLS) for assessing the health literacy level of surgical patients.Methods:A total of 202 surgical patients were recruited in an acute care hospital. C-AAHLS and BHLS were used simultaneously to measure the health literacy of patients, and the consistency of their measurement results was compared.Results:The total health literacy scores of 202 surgical patients measured by C-AAHLS and BHLS were respectively (23.16±2.94) and (7.50±3.58), both were at a medium level, and they are consistent in differences in the health literacy levels of different ages, occupations, and educational levels, with statistical significance; the Bland-Altman graph shows that the maximum difference between the measurement results of the two tools is 1.68 <1.824 (average value), the average value of the difference is close to 0, and the results are highly consistent (P < 0.0001).Conclusions:The results of C-AAHLS and BHLS in measuring health literacy are consistent, and clinical medical staff can choose the suitable measurement tool according to the appropriate situation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:Study on the incidence and related influencing factors of acute depression after stroke.Methods:From September 2018 to February 2019, 338 stroke patients hospitalized in three hospitals in this city were selected.9-item Patient Health Questionnaire scale (PHQ-9) and Stroke Aphasic Depression Questionnaire-Hospital Version (SADQ-H) were used to evaluate the depression of patients. The related factors were evaluated by using the self-made general situation questionnaire and the social support rating scale (SSRS), simple intelligence state test table (MMSE), Barthel index rating scale to understand the influence of variables on post-stroke depression.Results:The incidence of PSD was 59.09% in aphasia patients and 41.50% in non-aphasia patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that depression group and non-depression group have significant difference in family history of stroke ( OR=0.455, P=0.025), BI index ( OR=0.969, P=0), SSRS ( OR=0.936, P=0.002), MMSE ( OR=0.910, P=0.014). Conclusion:The incidence of PSD is higher in the acute phase after stroke, the occurrence of PSD is related to family history of stroke, BI index, SSRS, MMSE, The early evaluation of the above factors can identify the high risk population of PSD as soon as possible, so as to take relevant measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of PSD.
