| Research Abstract |
Health literacy (HL) is an important concept for patient education and disease management for heart failure (HF). WHO advocates evaluation of comprehensive HL, including the ability to access information (communicative HL) and critically evaluate this information (critical HL). We developed a tool for measuring three different level of HL, including functional, communicative, and critical HL among patients with HF. Our new HL scale was a reliable and valid tool for measuring functional, communicative, and critical HL in patients with HF. Moreover, this study determined the relationship between functional, communicative, and critical HL and self-care behavior in HF patients. Critical HL was independently associated with self-care behavior and QOL in HF patients. Effective intervention should be developed to improve patient skills for critically analyzing information and making decisions.
