“…Par ailleurs, il faut augmenter le niveau de littératie en santé c'est-à-dire, augmenter la capacité d'une personne à trouver, à comprendre, à évaluer et à utiliser une information sur la santé afin de prendre des décisions éclairées concernant sa propre santé ou celle d'un proche. Plusieurs auteurs ont montré que la littératie en santé a un impact sur les résultats en matière de santé des patients (voir par exemple McCleary-Jones, 2015;Kaas et al, 2016;Turner, 2017;Richard et al, 2018). Il faut également former les médecins et les autres professionnels de santé au cours de leur cursus initial et continue, en intégrant l'Internet dans l'éducation du patient ou en les guidant pour conseiller des sites de confiance et correspondant aux compétences en matière de santé des patients par exemple (Renahy et al, 2009).…”

“…Health promotion of vulnerable groups (low-social status -education, elderly, etc.) through health literacy requires interprofessional cooperation [14,21,22]. Interprofessional work [23,24] can particularly be used in environments where there are various and complex problems, and where prevention and treatment require a wide range of knowledge and methods.…”

As a critical determinant of health at a population level, knowing health literacy is essential for effective health promotion and for the positive influence on health status. However, very little research hasfocused on this topic in Hungary. We aimed to measure health literacy and find the factors affecting it among the adult population in Nyíregyháza city. The results contribute to improving health literacy, thus improving health behaviour, which is needed to develop individual and community strategies. Our study was carried out in the framework of the "Quality of life of Nyiregyháza-Household Panel" research, by using two health literacy measurement tools, the Newest Vital Sign and the perception-based Chew screening questions. The selected respondents were required to be over 18 years of age and had to be permanent residents of the city. Interviewers questioned the selected 541 households in the months of April-May 2018. Out of the 541households, 391 households answered the questionnaires, which represents a 72.3% response rate. The average rate of health literacy level among the adult population in Nyíregyháza is in line with other Hungarian studies that previously measured the average rate of health literacy at population level. The results show that the health literacy of the population of the city is most affected by their educational level. Our research reveals that the health literacy of the population is not significantly affected by their economic activity and income at local level. The need for the development of interventions within the framework of interprofessional cooperation that improve the level of health literacy, and focus on the low-educated population groups is urgent.

“…The two newly developed questionnaires that include contextual factors in addition to individual-level factors could be considered at least a partial answer to the WHO's recommendation that the existing literacy instruments should be expanded to include literacy-friendliness of materials, organizations, and the environment [16]. Nurses could contribute to addressing the mentioned challenges and improving the HL of their patients as well as the general public [44]. They could do so by adopting such strategies as screening patients for low HL through key questions in the patient's history, simplifying patient teaching materials, and constantly validating that patients and their families understand the conveyed message while also creating a shame-free environment [22].…”

Patient self-management is considered one of the preconditions for successful control of chronic conditions (including chronic pain), and health literacy is a relevant factor that can affect patient outcomes. The aim was to conduct a scoping review to synthesize studies within the healthcare context that have dealt with chronic pain in adults and measured literacy, and also to explore what literacy instruments were used. Methods: After determining clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, 8 electronic databases were searched for relevant articles; additional articles were obtained through reference lists of the obtained articles. Of the 56 records that were screened, 14 were included for data abstraction. Results: Most (n = 11) obtained studies were quantitative and most were based on a definition of literacy that focused on individuals, i.e. either on their reading level or on their abilities to access, read, understand, appraise, and act on health information. Correspondingly, most (n = 10) instruments measured individual-level characteristics; they did so mainly to examine the relationship between health literacy and various pain-related variables. Most studies were conducted in the USA and Germany. Conclusions: Chronic pain health literacy is a topic with emerging research. However, most instruments are generic and are oriented mainly towards individuals. Thus, chronic pain-specific instruments should be developed, and the existing instruments should be expanded to include contextual factors as well. Research is urgently needed in non-Western countries, especially given the current and predicted future global trends concerning chronic pain.
