Limited health literacy is high among patients with chronic kidney disease, which can pose challenges in health care. Evidence of health literacy in Indonesia, particularly regarding patients undergoing hemodialysis, is lacking. In this study, we aimed to explore health literacy in adult patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. An inductive qualitative study was conducted. Individual semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 10 adult patients undergoing hemodialysis, four family caregivers, and four healthcare professionals. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Three themes emerged from the data: “Trying to understand the illness,” “searching and obtaining health information,” and “applying health information.” Understanding and accepting the illness included raising awareness of the changes in their lives and accepting these changes. Participants actively sought information from healthcare professionals and other sources and used it carefully. Behavioral changes included patients' adherence to therapy, although participants often felt bored during the illness trajectory. Understanding the illness and being willing to seek and critically evaluate health information before implementing it are important. These aspects may affect patient outcomes and require further intervention and research.

Background Nurses' nursing competence and nutritional care literacy directly affect patients' health and safety. Self-directed learning ability was pervasive throughout the entire work process of nursing work and was the basis for improving both. However, there are few studies has explored the mechanism from the perspective of nutritional care literacy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between self-directed learning ability and nursing competence, and to explore the mediating role of nutritional care literacy between self-directed learning and nursing competence among clinical nurses in China. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 805 clinical nurses recruited from seven general hospitals in Hunan Province, China, between January 25 and March 6, 2022. The self-directed learning ability, nutritional care literacy and nursing competence of nurses were evaluated through investigation. A total of 799 questionnaires were received, resulting in an response rate of 99.25%.We performed an intermediary modeling to examine the mediating roles of nutritional care literacy on the relationship between self-directed learning ability and nursing competence in clinical nurses. Results Self-directed learning ability was positively correlated with nutritional care literacy (r=0.792, P<0.001) and nursing competence (r=0.696, P<0.001). Nutritional care literacy was positively correlated with nursing competence (r=0.658, P<0.001). Nutritional care literacy mediated the relationship between self-directed learning ability and nursing competence. The mediating effect accounted for 32.48% of the total effect and 48.10% of the direct effect . Conclusions This study confirmed the positive correlation between self-directed learning ability, nutritional care literacy, and nursing competence. Nutritional care literacy played a mediating role in the relationship between self-directed learning ability and nursing competence. The findings not only provide a novel strategy for cultivating nursing professionals and improving nurse disease care abilities, but also offer a new perspective for nursing educators and managers.
