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.

“…Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Health literacy has been found to impact health status (Hoover et al, 2015; Sentell, Baker, Onaka, & Braun, 2011), medical decision-making (Wang et al, 2014), access to care (Levy & Janke, 2016), completion of positive health behaviors such as cancer screening (Fernandez, Larson, & Zikmund-Fisher, 2016; Heberer et al, 2016), and health outcomes (Scarpato et al, 2016). For example, individuals with inadequate self-reported health literacy have been found less likely to be adherent to mammography guidelines and to report regular moderate physical activity than those with adequate self-reported health literacy (Fernandez, Larson, & Zikmund-Fisher, 2016).…”

The current study examined the sociodemographic and psychosocial variables that predicted being at risk for low health literacy among a population of racially and ethnically diverse patients accessing primary care services at community-based clinics. Participants (N=416) were aged 50–75, currently not up-to-date with colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, at average CRC risk, and enrolled in a randomized controlled trial aimed at promoting CRC screening. Participants completed a baseline interview that assessed health literacy as measured by Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine-Revised, sociodemographic factors, and psychosocial variables (e.g., health beliefs) prior to randomization and receipt of an intervention. Thirty-six percent of participants were found to be at risk for low health literacy. Sociodemographic and psychosocial variables were assessed as predictors of being at risk for low health literacy using logistic regression. In the final model, predictors were male gender, being from a racial/ethnic minority group, being unable to work, having higher social influence scores, and having higher religious belief scores. These findings suggest several patient characteristics that may be associated with low health literacy, and highlight the importance of supporting all patients through simplified and clear communications and information to improve understanding of CRC screening information.

“…Examples include navigating a questionnaire, medication instructions, or comprehension of diagnosis (Institute of Medicine, 2004). Since the 1960s, research has demonstrated that low health literacy interferes with an individual's ability to manage diseases such as diabetes (Schillinger et al, 2002) and heart failure (Friel, 2016) and can predict negative surgical outcomes (Scarpato et al, 2016). Moreover, health literacy has been cited as the single greatest predictor of an individual's health status (Baker et al, 2007), and it is an indicator of increased hospital visits, morbidity, mortality, and high health care costs (Baker et al, 2002;Institute of Medicine, 2004;Schillinger et al, 2002;Wolf, Gazmararian, & Baker, 2005).…”

Readability Level of Spanish-Language Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Audiology and Otolaryngology

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the readability level of the Spanish versions of several audiology-and otolaryngology-related patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and include a readability analysis of 2 translation approaches when available-the published version and a "functionalist" version-using a team-based collaborative approach including community members. Method: Readability levels were calculated using the Fry Graph adapted for Spanish, as well as the FernandezHuerta and the Spaulding formulae for several commonly used audiology-and otolaryngology-related PROMs. Results: Readability calculations agreed with previous studies analyzing audiology-related PROMs in English and demonstrated many Spanish-language PROMs were beyond the 5th grade reading level suggested for healthrelated materials written for the average population. In addition, the functionalist versions of the PROMs yielded lower grade-level (improved) readability levels than the published versions. Conclusion: Our results suggest many of the Spanishlanguage PROMs evaluated here are beyond the recommended readability levels and may be influenced by the approach to translation. Moreover, improved readability may be possible using a functionalist approach to translation. Future analysis of the suitability of outcome measures and the quality of their translations should move beyond readability and include an evaluation of the individual's comprehension of the written text.
