Gesundheitskompetenz von gesetzlich Krankenversicherten

Abstract

Zusammenfassung:In einer bundesweiten Repräsen-tativ-Umfrage zur Messung von Gesundheitskompetenz schneiden die Versicherten der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung gegenüber einer als Referenz herangezogenen europäischen Studie unterdurchschnittlich ab. Aus Sicht der Krankenkassen stellt das Handlungsfeld der Gesundheitskompetenz einen wichtigen Ansatz dar, um eine angemessene Nutzung des Gesundheitswesens zu erzielen und um eine Steigerung der Lebensqualität der Menschen zu erreichen. Angesichts der Ergebnisse sind dazu gesamtgesellschaftliche Anstrengungen erforderlich.Abstract: Within a nationwide representative survey to measure health literacy persons covered by Statutory Health Insurance show below-average results. From the point of view of the health care funds, the issue of health competency is an important point to achieve an adequate utilisation of the health care system and an increase in the quality of life. The results of the study show that efforts concerning all aspects of society are needed.

International handbook of health literacy

“…They are all based on its concept and measuring instrument, and mainly address the general population. One study, originating in Germany, focused exclusively on statutory-insured people (Zok, 2014). The German Health Update (GEDA) conducted by the Robert Koch Institute also collected data on the health literacy of older people.…”

“…Another important dimension that is regularly taken into account is age. While the research results are not always clear for the gender dimension, we know that there are (partly strong) correlations between educational status, social (and employment) status, belonging to a minority ethnic group and to an older age group on the one hand, and the average level of health literacy on the other (cf Canadian Council on Learning, 2008;WHO, 2013;Zok, 2014;Omariba and Ng, 2015;Hearian et al, 2017;Levin-Zamir et al, 2017). But little is known about the relationship of health literacy and other important dimensions of diversity.…”
