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.
