“…Nutrition literacy is the ability of individuals to understand nutritional knowledge, their own nutritional status, and guide themselves in selecting foods to obtain nutrition, which is a part of health literacy (5,6). At the same time, healthcare professionals also regard improving the nutrition literacy of chronic disease patients as an important part of their health guidance, and these measures play an important role in the prevention and treatment of nutrition and metabolism-related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and cancer (7)(8)(9)(10). Therefore, from the concept and application, nutrition literacy is the upstream theory of nutrition, that is, an individual's level of nutrition literacy directly affects their nutritional status.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to examine the moderating role of self-efficacy among rural elderly individuals in northern Sichuan Province in the relationship between certain sociodemographic variables and nutritional literacy.MethodsConvenience sampling was used to select 264 elderly individuals aged 60 and above from rural communities in Cangxi County, Guangyuan City, Yilong County, Nanchong City, and Bazhou District, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. A self-designed questionnaire, including sociodemographic variables, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for the Elderly (NLQ-E), was administered through face-to-face interviews using a paper-based version. The relationships between sociodemographic variables, self-efficacy, and nutritional literacy in the elderly were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and the Process plugin to examine the relationships between variables and to test for moderation effects.Results(1) There were significant differences in nutrition literacy scores among elderly people of different ages, genders, marital statuses, educational levels, personal monthly living expenses, dental conditions, and number of chronic diseases (p < 0.05). (2) When elderly individuals have lower self-efficacy, their nutritional literacy is lower as they become older, and they have poorer nutritional literacy with a higher number of chronic diseases.ConclusionGeneral population demographic data has a significant impact on the nutritional literacy level of elderly people in rural areas of northern Sichuan. Self-efficacy plays a moderating role in the relationship between age and nutritional literacy, as well as the relationship between the number of chronic diseases and nutritional literacy.

BACKGROUND: Joint activity and protection are key components in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite a shift from care in health settings to empowering patients to play an active role in the day-to-day management of their own chronic conditions, there is little evidence on RA self-management, especially for Chinese patients. PURPOSE: This pilot study sought to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a self-management program for patients with RA in Taiwan. METHODS: Participants were recruited at a medical center in northern Taiwan. The intervention group participated in a 6-week self-management program; the control group received standard rheumatology care. Both groups underwent baseline assessments before the intervention and at 12 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 32 participants were recruited: 15 in the intervention group and 17 in the control group. Patients in the intervention group found the self-management protocol beneficial to their joint protection and activity behaviors and reported higher motivation to perform RA self-management. The posttest score for joint protection and activity self-management behavior were significantly greater for the intervention group than for the control group (p = .02). CONCLUSIONS: Participants in the intervention group were highly satisfied with home visits (which included peer story-telling and goal setting) and telephone calls to support their daily home-based joint protection and self-management activities (which included self-monitoring and self-evaluation). To mitigate the fear of scammers, researchers should begin by building a trust relationship with participants.

Development and evaluation of a dietary self‐management programme for older adults with low literacy and heart disease: pilot study of feasibility and acceptability

Abstract: Our study results suggest that with guidance and assistance, older adults with low literacy and heart disease can be motivated to take action for their health and are empowered by learning how to self-manage their heart-healthy eating behaviours.
