Influence of health literacy on health status
In the research on the influence of health literacy on health status, there are two main index systems to evaluate health status. One is to start directly from the disease, pay attention to the incidence, prevalence, prognosis and effective management of chronic diseases, so as to reflect the health status.
The other is to evaluate the health status from the utilization of medical services, including hospitalization times, hospitalization time and emergency utilization frequency. In addition, self-rated health, which is closely related to health status, is increasingly used as one of the indicators for supplementary evaluation.
Many studies pay attention to the occurrence and development of diseases as evaluation indicators, and draw the conclusion that health literacy is positively related to health status. For example, the research results of the National Center for Medical Statistics show that low health literacy will lead to an increase in the incidence and prevalence of many diseases; Kalishman found through research that health literacy is an important factor affecting the treatment and rehabilitation of AIDS patients.
Functional health literacy is related to the health status and health knowledge of AIDS patients.
