“…Eight different measures of HL were used: the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM; 7 studies); the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults–United Kingdom (UK‐TOFHLA; 1 study); the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (S‐TOFHLA; 5 studies); the Short Assessment of Health Literacy in Spanish Adults (2 studies); the Measurement of Health Literacy in Europe–German Short Form (1 study); the Functional Communicative and Critical Health Literacy Scale–Dutch (1 study); and the Brief Health Literacy Screen (1 study) . Two studies used more than 1 measure of HL, and 1 study created a hybrid measure from REALM and S‐TOFHLA . Most studies, such as REALM and the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA), included HL measures that primarily focus on the functional definition of HL.…”

Background Increasing demands on health care systems require patients to take on more active roles in their health. Effective self‐management has been linked to improved health outcomes, and evidence shows that effective self‐management is linked to health literacy (HL). HL is an important predictor of successful self‐management in other chronic diseases but has had minimal testing in cancer. Methods A scoping review was conducted to examine and summarize what is known about the association between HL and self‐management behaviors and health service utilization in the cancer setting. The methodological framework articulated by Arksey and O’Malley was used and was further refined with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Inclusion criteria included the following: peer review; publication in English; and adult patients and caregivers of all races, ethnicities, and cultural groups. Use of a validated instrument to measure HL was required. Results The search yielded 2414 articles. After the removal of duplicates and the performance of title scans and abstract reviews, the number was reduced to 44. Of the 44 full‐text articles reviewed, 17 met the inclusion criteria. A number of important self‐management behaviors and related outcomes were found to be associated with HL. These included the uptake of cancer screening, the receipt of prescribed chemotherapy, and a greater risk of postoperative complications. Conclusions This literature review shows that HL is associated with important self‐management behaviors in cancer. The implications of these associations for individuals with inadequate HL and for the health care system are significant. More research is needed to explore these associations.

“…Husson et al8 explored the relationship between HL and health-related quality of life and found that low subjective functional HL among colorectal cancer survivors was associated with lower levels of physical activity and poorer health-related quality of life. Rust et al9 studied the relationship between initial HL and medication adherence, as well as initial HL and self-efficacy, and the results indicated that individuals with higher HL were more likely to have higher levels of self-efficacy and were more likely to adhere to medication instructions. Jin et al10 conducted a cross-sectional survey to examine the functional HL among older adults and identify influencing factors that can predict medication adherence.…”

PurposeTo improve the quality of life of patients who received modified radical mastectomy, we investigated the factors affecting health literacy (HL) and exercise adherence in postoperative breast cancer patients and analyzed the relationship between them.MethodsWith random sampling method, we selected patients who received modified radical mastectomy in Nanjing First Hospital as research subjects. Then, questionnaires were given to 286 breast cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria (from January 2014 to June 2016). The questionnaire includes three parts: General Information, the Health Literacy Scale, and the Postoperative Functional Exercise Compliance Scale for Breast Cancer Patients. In this study, the count data were presented as frequency and constituent ratio and the measurement data were presented as mean ± standard error. Correlation and logistic analysis were both performed by using SPSS for Windows v.19.0.ResultsThis study showed that the total mean score of postoperative functional exercise compliance of breast cancer patients was 82.65±12.38 points, and the total mean score of postoperative functional exercise compliance of breast cancer patients was 46.16±3.88 points. In addition, HL had a strong association with functional exercise compliance in each dimension except for economic support and proactively seeking advice compliance.ConclusionHL and functional exercise compliance of breast cancer after radical mastectomy in Nanjing First Hospital were both at a moderate level and need further improvement. HL could predict the functional exercise compliance of patients.

“…Social skills training is an intervention that utilizes learning activities and other behavioral techniques to enable patients with schizophrenia to acquire disease management and independent living skills to improve their functioning in their communities [10]. Reviews of trials [11,12,13,14,15] such as a specialized assertive intervention program (OPUS) concluded that social skills training had a positive effect on medication adherence and decreased rehospitalization rates. However, the impact of social skills training on patients' symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and quality of life was moderate [13].…”

Background: Antipsychotic drugs are limited in their ability to improve negative symptoms, quality of life, and medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia. The addition of nonpharmacological interventions like social skills training has a positive effect on medication adherence and decreases rehospitalization rates but is limited in improving patients' symptoms, aggressive behaviors, and quality of life. Aerobic exercise, especially Tai-chi, can potentially reduce psychopathological and negative symptoms, decrease aggressive behaviors, and improve quality of life. It is an ideal rehabilitation intervention for patients with schizophrenia. However, no study has investigated the effects of social skills training plus Tai-chi on outcomes among outpatients with schizophrenia. This study analyzes the effect of antipsychotics combined with community-based integrated interventions on outcomes of schizophrenia. Methods: In this study, a 24-session social skills training plus Tai-chi was used in community settings among patients with schizophrenia. A total of 244 patients were randomly assigned to medication treatment alone (MTA group) or community-based integrated intervention (CBII group), which accepted social skills training plus Tai-chi in addition to medication treatment. Generalized linear mixed models were used to evaluate the intervention effect (group effect), intervention effect over time (time effect), and interaction effect (group × time effect). t tests were used to evaluate between-group differences on clinical variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the differences between the intervention at 12 months and baseline for the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) negative symptoms and quality of life-social domain. Results: Compared with the MTA group, the CBII group had lower scores on PANSS (F = 17.312, p < 0.001) and negative symptoms (F = 44.909, p < 0.001), a lower risk for aggressive behavior (F = 12.382, p < 0.001), and a greater improvement in adherence to medication (F = 12.391, p < 0.001) after 1 year of intervention. The changes in PANSS total scores, negative scores, and social domain of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) from baseline to 12 months were significant between the two groups (PANSS total score: t = 4.839, p < 0.001; negative symptoms: t = 8.250, p < 0.001, and quality of life-social domain: t = -2.171, p = 0.031). Multiple linear regression analysis also showed that the intervention was significantly effective for changes from baseline to 12 months on PANSS total score (B = 0.804, p < 0.001), negative score (B = 0.709, p < 0.001), and social domain of quality of life (B = -0.673, p = 0.044). Conclusions: This study suggested that the community-based integrated intervention such as social skills training plus Tai-chi should be part of a rehabilitation effort for patients with schizophrenia in order to improve clinical symptoms, quality of life, and medication adherence.
