“…This prevalence is more or less comparable to that in the general population of the U.S. [ 6 ], European countries [ 5 , 19 , 43 ], and Southeast Asian countries [ 44 ]. In the study presented here, adequate health literacy is positively associated with HRQoL among patients with chronic diseases, confirming the first hypothesis established at the outset and consistent with the findings of earlier studies [ 14 , 29 , 30 ].…”

“…Type 2 diabetes patients with adequate health literacy are less likely to experience a decline in EQ-5D over one year than those with low health literacy [ 30 ]. While these existing studies offer valuable insights regarding the role of adequate health literacy in HRQoL of patients with chronic disease, they are focused on a specific chronic condition [ 14 , 29 , 30 ], or based on a small sample of patients from a single [ 14 ] and few centers [ 29 , 31 ]. Moreover, the impacts of health literacy on specific dimensions of HRQoL are not fully understood [ 14 ].…”

“…Health literacy is positively associated with HRQoL, measured with the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) index, among spine patients recruited from a single medical center [14]. A chronic condition that garnered particular attention in relation to health literacy is type 2 diabetes [29][30][31]. Type 2 diabetes patients with adequate health literacy are less likely to experience a decline in EQ-5D over one year than those with low health literacy [30].…”

Inadequate health literacy is a risk factor for poor health outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). So far, the impact of health literacy on HRQoL has been examined for only a few chronic conditions. In this contribution, the relationship between health literacy and HRQoL in Korean adults with chronic conditions is examined using data of the cross-sectional Korea Health Panel Survey from 2021. Health literacy was measured with the 16-item European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) and HRQoL with the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). Multiple linear regression model was run for the EQ-5D index as the dependent variable. Multiple logistic regression models were implemented for responses to the individual EQ-5D items. 30.8%, 24.6%, and 44.6% of participants had inadequate, marginal, and adequate levels of health literacy, respectively. The EQ-5D index increases with marginal (B = 0.018, p<0.001) and adequate literacy (B = 0.017, p<0.001) compared to inadequate literacy. People with adequate or marginal literacy were more likely to report no problem with mobility (odds ration [OR] = 1.5; p<0.001), self-care (OR = 1.6; p<0.05), and usual activities (OR = 1.6 for adequate; OR = 1.4 for marginal; p<0.01) than those with inadequate literacy. Adequate health literacy was associated with an increased likelihood of having no problem with anxiety and depression (OR = 1.4; p<0.05). In conclusion, inadequate health literacy is prevalent among Korean adults with chronic diseases. Adequate health literacy is associated with better HRQoL and a protective factor for four dimensions of EQ-5D (mobility, self-care, usual activities, and anxiety/depression).

“…Diabetes knowledge. Four studies found that diabetes literacy was a strong determinant of HRQoL among people with T2DM (Arifin et al, 2019;Barua et al, 2021;Nacanabo et al, 2021;Wonde et al, 2022). According to an investigation carried out in Indonesia, a lower EQ-5D score was substantially correlated with a lack of understanding of therapy (Arifin et al, 2019).…”

Introduction One of the most important outcomes of diabetes care and treatment is an improvement in patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Objective This study aimed to review the empirical evidence regarding the predictors of HRQoL among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods To find all English-language articles published between 2012 and 2022, a comprehensive literature search was conducted using ProQuest, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and CORE. Cross-sectional studies were the focus of this analysis. Search terms included “type 2 diabetes” OR “T2DM” AND “health-related quality of life” OR “HRQoL” AND (“predicting factors” OR “influencing factors” OR “associated factors”). The original search yielded a total of 1,089 studies, from which 35 met the review's inclusion criteria. The systematic review protocol was registered with PROSPERO CRD42023431229. Results The final analysis comprised 24,346 people with type 2 diabetes and used data from 35 cross-sectional studies conducted during the preceding decade. Socio-demographic factors (age, marital status, gender, monthly income, education, area of residence, and religiosity), patient-centered factors (diabetes knowledge and self-efficacy), disease characteristics (comorbidities, duration of diabetes, and insulin treatment), self-management behaviors (physical activity, medication adherence, and frequent glucose checks), and family support were found to be predictors of HRQoL. Conclusion A diabetes program to enhance the HRQoL among people with T2DM is highly encouraged to address these factors, which can be focused on promoting self-management behaviors, diabetes distress management, and encourage family support.
