“…It is more likely to be carried out where the organization takes responsibility for its implementation, has clear expectations about it, and considers nutritional care as a priority of organizational and clinical leadership ( 18 , 19 , 20 ). Although nutritional screening was implemented in some clinical settings as a tool to assess patients at nutritional risk, healthcare professionals generally relied on their own subjective professional judgment, clinical experience and “common sense.” In some cases, nutritional screening was performed only after the patient reported weight loss or decreased appetite ( 18 , 19 , 21 , 22 ). Existing clinical guidelines were often poorly applied in clinical practice, and nutritional treatment of patients was considered only as a form of nonmedical patient care.…”

“…They expressed uncertainty about the role that each professional group (physicians, nurses and dietitians) should play in the nutritional care of patients. They called for a multidisciplinary approach in which responsibilities and competencies for the nutritional care and treatment of patients are formally divided between the different professional groups, and for better communication and collaboration between them ( 19 , 20 , 21 , 23 , 24 ).…”

Introduction Despite the high prevalence of malnutrition in patients at all levels of healthcare, early prevention and treatment of malnourished patients are often neglected and overlooked in clinical practice. The aim of this systematic literature review was to identify the factors considered most important by healthcare professionals in the identification and treatment of malnourished patients or those at risk of malnutrition. Methods A systematic literature review of qualitative research was conducted. Documents published in scientific journals in English from 2011 to 2021 were searched in the PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL and ProQuest databases. The results were analysed with a thematic analysis of qualitative research findings. Results From the search set of 1010 results, 7 sources were included in the final analysis. Factors identified by health professionals as important in the identification and treatment of malnourished patients in clinical practice were grouped into five themes: unclear organizational structure; indefinite structure of nutritional care; poor continuity of nutritional care; lack of knowledge and skills of health professionals; lack of time and human resources. Conclusions Health policy must provide resources for nutritional care for patients at all levels of health care on the initiative of the highest professional bodies at the state level. To improve the nutritional care of patients in clinical practice, the management of health care institutions must promote and enable the professional and organizational establishment of clinical nutrition as a regular medical activity of the institution, develop clinical nutritional pathways, and promote evidence-based clinical practice and interprofessional collaboration.

“…The HLS19 [ 8 ] was implemented in Italy after a pilot phase was conducted between 31 March and 7 April 2021. From 8 April to 8 May 2021, a questionnaire including a 47-item section (HLS19-Q47)on general HL (GEN-HL), including 4 vaccination-related items (HLS19-VAC) selected to assess the vaccination-specific HL (HL-VAC), a 16-item section on HL-COVID (Corona Health Literacy Questionnaire) [ 9 ], and a 34-item section on sociodemographic characteristics was administered to a sample of 3500 men and women aged 18 years and older, representative of the Italian general population; an online (2949 interviews) and telephone (551 interviews) survey was used. The telephone survey was conducted mainly among the elderly (65 years and older) to facilitate the participation of people who might encounter major difficulties with internet use.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an overabundance of valid and invalid information to spread rapidly via traditional media as well as by internet and digital communication. Health literacy (HL) is the ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information, making it fundamental for finding, interpreting, and correctly using COVID-19 information. A cross-sectional study of a sample of 3500 participants representative of the Italian adult population aged 18+ years was conducted in Italy in 2021. A validated HL questionnaire was employed, including sections on coronavirus-related HL, general HL, sociodemographic characteristics, risk factors, and respondents’ lifestyle. Of our sample, 49.3% had “excellent” levels of coronavirus-related HL and 50.7% had “sufficient” (20.7%) or “limited” (30.0%) levels. Although the overall HL-COVID level was high, many participants reported difficulties dealing with COVID-19 information; in particular, participants older than 65 years, with a low education level, living in southern regions of Italy, and with high financial deprivation. Targeted public information campaigns and the promotion of HL are required for better navigation of health information environments. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to improve HL and to prepare the general population for future emergency and non-emergency situations, confirming that HL can be considered a social vaccine.

“…However, in this editorial we aim to expose three: e-health literacy, vaccine literacy, and mental health literacy. All these context-specific health literacies are especially relevant for the infodemic debate and are gaining momentum due to the increased use of various digital and online resources to access and obtain health-related information ( 17 ) and due to complexities related to vaccination and mental distress that became increasingly discussed and politicized in the recent COVID-19 pandemic ( 18 , 19 , 20 ).…”

“…Vaccination is one of the major public health issues that became even more emphasized during the COVID-19 pandemic ( 19 ). Information on vaccines and vaccination is often complex, and with the dissemination of these types of information online and on various digital media, individuals are often confronted with information overload and ambiguity about the quality of vaccination-related information ( 25 ).…”

Health literacy refers to skills and knowledge that enable individuals to navigate health-related information environments, to function in healthcare systems, and to practice behaviors that lead to better health outcomes. Accordingly, health literacy is one of the major preoccupations of public health scholars, policies, and strategies. However, it is a complex, multidimensional, and dynamic concept that incorporates different kinds of health-related skills and knowledge. This editorial briefly presents dimensions, levels, and domains of health literacy and discusses a growing need to acknowledge health literacy as a context-specific concept that includes various forms with context-specific conceptualizations. More specifically, it focuses on three health literacy forms that are gaining attention, namely e-health literacy, vaccine literacy, and mental health literacy. By emphasizing the importance of health literacy research for this journal and in general this editorial calls for increasing engagement in this field and invites further contributions on the topic.
