The results showed that the physicians in the intervention group were more likely than the control group to use management strategies recommended for patients with limited health literacy.…”

“…However, these should not be singled out as the only determinants of impaired understanding. The inability of health professionals recognizing inadequate FHL levels and communicating through comprehensible language has already been alerted by other research, which shows the importance of their evaluation 28 . The Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) also suggests that the patient's FHL grade be obtained and recorded in the medical record, such is the importance of this factor in the physician-patient relationship 29 .…”

Resumo Letramento Funcional em Saúde (LFS) é a capacidade de obter, processar e compreender informações de forma a tomar decisões apropriadas quanto ao autocuidado, definido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde como um determinante social da saúde. Sua avaliação tem importância especial em portadores de Doenças Crônicas não Transmissíveis, pela necessidade de cuidados permanentes em saúde. Os objetivos são avaliar o LFS em portadores de doenças cardiovasculares crônicas e possíveis implicações no entendimento da doença e orientações médicas e na adesão a medidas propostas por profissionais de saúde. Pesquisa transversal e quantitativa aplicando-se o instrumento S-TOFHLA e um questionário estruturado em 345 pacientes de um ambulatório de doenças cardiovasculares em Juiz de Fora. Menos da metade (49,3%) da amostra apresentou LFS adequado. O LFS satisfatório associou-se a menor idade e maior escolaridade. O baixo LFS mostrou influenciar o déficit de compreensão da doença e de orientações médicas e o hábito menor de questionar os profissionais. Houve alta prevalência de LFS inadequado na amostra, associado a prejuízo no entendimento da doença e de instruções médicas, expondo a necessidade de otimizar a comunicação médica nesse grupo.

“…While an objective of the study was to identify difficulties that individuals have with reading and evaluating the study materials, it was people with low literacy skills who were particularly challenged by this method. Due to the stigma associated with poor basic skills, a number of interviewees found the approach quite intimidating and stressful. Although these individuals were thoroughly debriefed following the interview, best practice guidelines for think‐aloud research do not allow researcher involvement until this point .…”

BackgroundThe English NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme biennially invites individuals aged 60–74 to participate in screening. The booklet, ‘Bowel Cancer Screening: The Facts' accompanies this invitation. Its primary aim is to inform potential participants about the aims, advantages and disadvantages of colorectal cancer screening.ObjectiveTo provide detailed commentary on how individuals process the information contained within ‘The Facts’ booklet.Design, setting and participantsThis study comprised of 18 interviews with individuals aged 45–60 and used a ‘think‐aloud’ paradigm in which participants read aloud the booklet. Participant utterances (verbal statements made in response to researcher‐led prompts) were transcribed and analysed using a combination of content and thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 776 coded utterances were analysed (mean = 43.1 per person; range = 8–95). While overall comprehension was satisfactory, several problem areas were identified such as the use of complex unfamiliar terminology and the presentation of numerical information. Specific sections such as colonoscopy risk information evoked negative emotional responses. Participants made several suggestions for ways in which comprehension might be improved.ConclusionPublic perceptions of the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme information materials indicated that specific aspects of the booklet were difficult to process. These materials may be an appropriate target to improve public understanding of the aims, benefits and disadvantages of colorectal cancer screening. These findings will contribute to a broader NIHR‐funded project that aims to design a supplementary ‘gist‐based’ information leaflet suitable for low literacy populations.
