The Impact of Parent's Health Literacy on Pediatric Asthma Outcomes

Abstract: Background: Health literacy has been associated with health disparities in many disease outcomes, including children's asthma. Parents are responsible for most of children's healthcare. Therefore, parents' health literacy may impact children's health outcomes, including asthma control. This study sought to determine the association between parent health literacy and children's asthma control among a cohort of predominately minority urban children aged between 6 and 12 years. Methods: This cross-sectional study… Show more

“…Four studies showed that parents with limited HL are associated with worse asthma control. 8,13,14 One study indicated that parents with low HL are associated with worse asthma control, as rated by health care providers (p Z 0.007) and children (p Z 0.013). 8 Shone et al observed that parents with limited HL are more likely to perceive their children's health to be fair or poor and report they worry "very much more" than other parents do about their children's health.…”

“…Health literacy is the ability to obtain, process and understand basic health information and communicate within the healthcare environment as well as the services required for making appropriate health decisions (Institute of Medicine ; Zarcadoolas, Pleasant, & Greer, ). Health literacy is a reliable indicator of the outcomes of self‐management programmes and health education (Brigham, Goldenberg, Stolfi, Mueller, & Forbis, ; Harrington, Zhang, Magruder, Bailey, & Gerald, ). The effectiveness of health education materials may be increased by emphasising health‐literacy‐related aspects (Garnweidner‐Holme et al., ; McInnes & Haglund, ).…”
