“…The results of this study revealed that the education level of elementary school or below was 7.3% for patients and 6.4% for families. A previous study that surveyed the health information literacy of adult inpatients showed education level as above 61.8% [ 19 ]. In most studies, education level was found to be a related factor of health information literacy and low education level showed low health information literacy [ 19 , 20 , 21 ], but high education level did not always show positive correlation with high health information literacy [ 22 ].…”

Unlike previous health literacy studies, even if the subjects of this study had a high level of education, it was difficult to identify the positive or negative effects on patient safety literacy.…”

The aim of this comparative study involving pre- and post-tests was to analyze the effectiveness of patient safety educational materials developed for the Comprehensive Plans for Patient Safety in Korea (2018–2022), and to suggest how to improve patient safety literacy. A face-to-face survey interview comprising items related to general information and patient safety literacy was completed by 217 patients and their families who visited three general hospitals in Seoul and one general hospital in Gyeonggi-do for treatment between 25 October and 15 November 2019. In the interview, the patients were asked questions about whether the patient safety educational materials were “easy to understand,” provided “help in safe hospitalization,” and enabled patients to practice patient safety independently (“do it yourself”). The literacy of the patient safety educational materials was analyzed using a paired t-test with a p value of 0.05. The comparison between patient safety literacy on pre- and post-tests revealed that among all participants, there were significant differences in “easy to understand,” “help in safe hospitalization,” and “do it yourself” scores. To improve patient safety literacy, patient education materials need to optimize communication by improving patients’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes for maintaining and promoting healthy living.

“…The association between health literacy and health has been consistently reported across various Korean studies. For instance, previous research reported that a higher health literacy level was linked to a subjective perception of better health [2329]. Other studies have also showed that health literacy predicted number of diseases, number of medications [30], level of self-care [31], medication knowledge, and medication abuse [24].…”

Food Literacy in South Korea: Operational Definition and Measurement Issues

Since chronic diseases have emerged as a major cause of death worldwide, people has been exposed to large amounts of information on healthy eating practices that are important aspects of its prevention and management. Food literacy, the functional, interactive, and critical ability to manage dietary information with the aim of improving health, is of global interest. In South Korea (hereafter Korea), there is currently a lack of food literacy research, despite its pertinence for the development of public health policies that are tailored to recipients' ability to understand and address health and nutrition issues. In this study, the research trend and policy implications of food literacy are derived through reviewing preceding studies related to food literacy in Korea and elsewhere. Existing literature on food literacy in Korea placed much emphasis on the functional ability of food literacy. Future research on the operational definitions of interactive and critical food literacy and their health effects in Korea is necessary. In addition, there is a lack of research on the development and validation of measurement tools that evaluate integrative concepts of food literacy. To accurately examine the relationships among food literacy, diet, and health, standardized measurement tools that can comprehensively evaluate food literacy frameworks for various Korean sub-population groups should be developed. Based on such future studies, an investigation of health promotion programs or policies on reducing the cognitive burden of food literacy would contribute to improving heathy eating practices in Korea.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the current state of health literacy research and to explore the directions of improvement health literacy in Korea. Methods: A review of literature was conducted via an electronic database and citation tracking reference. A total of 173 articles were identified, where and then 41 articles were selected for review that met the inclusion criteria. Two authors independently reviewed the articles using the matrix table and together examined together the three aspects of the studies: research methods, health literacy instrument, and results. Results: Most of the articles were descriptive-correlation studies, but there were one intervention study and six methodology studies that were developing health literacy measures and instrument related items and etc. More troubling sufficient samples and sampling methods were lacking at the population level. The validity of the used health literacy instruments was not sufficient reported. Conclusions: Health literacy instruments need to be validated in various population and contexts. Additionally, effective strategies to improve health literacy included teach-back, pictogram, and decision aids need to be tested in Korean health care system.
