“…However, the findings of the scientific literature about the relationship between health literacy and medication adherence are not consistent. For the sake of the argument, dealing with the self-management of diabetes, Rodriguez 41 maintained that low health literate patients were not able to take part in clinical decision-making and were poor in adhering to treatment regimens. Similarly, Inoue and colleagues 42 observed that health literacy skills are essential to understand diabetes and participate in the provision of care.…”

Background: Scholars describe poor health literacy as a "silent epidemic, " which is challenging the functioning of healthcare systems all over the world. Health literacy is mainly meant as an individual trait which concerns the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information in order to effectively navigate the health system. Low health literate patients perceive poor self-efficacy dealing with their health conditions, are not willing to be involved in the provision of care, show larger risks of hospitalization and mortality, and are not aware about the determinants of well-being. Hence, limited health literacy has been associated with inadequate management of long-term conditions; nonetheless, several authors argue that health literacy has been an overlooked factor dealing with HIV. Methods: This study is aimed at discussing the effects of poor health literacy on people living with HIV, drawing from the findings of a narrative literature review which involved 41 papers retrieved from the databases "Scopus-Elsevier" and "PubMed. " Results: The scientific literature is not consistent dealing with the relationship between health literacy and HIV treatment. For example, health literate patients seem to better understand their health conditions; on the other hand, people living with poor health literacy are likely to report higher compliance with providers' prescriptions, blindly trusting healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Poor health literacy is a social barrier to access healthcare services and to appropriate health treatment among patients living with HIV. Tailored interventions should be aimed at enhancing the health skills of patients affected by HIV infection to improve their ability to navigate the health system.

“…18,19 Insufficient engagement of diabetes patient treatment preferences, lack of knowledge, and negative attitudes have been concerns, with only 16% of patients adhering to recommended self-management activities. 20,21 Self-management based on a self-efficacy conceptual framework has been shown to increase the likelihood of persons improving diabetes self-management behavior over the long term. 22 Self-efficacy is defined as an individual's capabilities to complete a specific task or goal.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate participant self-efficacy and use of a mobile phone diabetes health intervention for older adults during a 4-week period. Participants included seven adults (mean age, 70.3 years) with type 2 diabetes cared for by community-based primary care physicians. Participants entered blood glucose data into a mobile phone and personalized patient Internet Web portal. Based on blood glucose values, participants received automatic messages and educational information to self-manage their diabetes. Study measures included prior mobile phone/Internet use, the Stanford Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale, the Stanford Energy/Fatigue Scale, the Short Form-36, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (depression), the Patient Reported Diabetes Symptom Scale, the Diabetes Stages of Change measure, and a summary of mobile system use. Participants had high self-efficacy and high readiness and confidence in their ability to monitor changes to control their diabetes. Participants demonstrated ability to use the mobile intervention and communicate with diabetes educators.

“…The quality of this clinical relationship has an additive effect as a better relationship contributes to the patients’ engagement in their care, which further influences outcomes related to self-care (Golin, DiMatteo, Leaks, Duan, & Gelberg, 2001). Conversely, when patients do not have confidence in their health care provider, they are less likely to implement care recommendations (Rodriguez, 2013). …”

Background As 7.8% of the U.S. population is affected by diabetes, health care providers are tasked with providing resources to assist patients toward self-management. Psychosocial issues have an effect on diabetes self-care. Diabetes-related distress is associated with self-management and lower A1C. This cross-sectional study seeks to understand how demographic factors, psychological orientations, support, and diabetes management behaviors predict diabetes-related distress. Methods This study uses data from 267 adults with Type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) is a 17-item scale measuring diabetes-related distress including emotional distress, physician related distress, regimen distress, and interpersonal distress. Results Hierarchical regression was conducted in four stages. The final model explains 48% of the variance in DDS. Significant factors related to lower DDS were older age, lower BMI, higher self-efficacy, higher levels of health care provider support, and a healthy diet. Discussion Findings of this study help health care providers know where to focus to reduce diabetes-related distress. Health care provider support is significant in reducing DDS. Diabetes education may want to include strategies that increase self-efficacy and assist people with diabetes to obtain a healthy weight through a more healthful diet.
