“…This is in line with the findings of previous studies [30,[69][70][71]. Increasing HL in patients receiving hemodialysis may improve their quality of life [72], and lower anxiety and depression [73]. However, the literature has documented that hemodialysis patients have limited HL levels [74,75].…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to evaluate hemodialysis patients’ dietary knowledge, especially among those with COVID-19 related symptoms, in order to identify appropriate strategies in managing their mental health. The study’s purposes were to test the psychometric properties of the hemodialysis dietary knowledge (HDK) scale, and to investigate the modifying impact of HDK on the associations of suspected COVID-19 symptoms (S-COVID-19-S) with anxiety and depression among hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2020 to March 2021 at eight hospitals across Vietnam. Data of 875 hemodialysis patients were analyzed, including socio-demographic, anxiety (the generalized anxiety disorder scale, GAD-7), depression (the patient health questionnaire, PHQ-9), S-COVID-19-S, HDK, health literacy, and digital healthy diet literacy. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and logistic regression models were used to analyze the data. The HDK scale demonstrates the satisfactory construct validity with good model fit (Goodness of Fit Index, GFI = 0.96; Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index, AGFI = 0.90; Standardized Root Mean Square Residual, SRMR = 0.05; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation, RMSEA = 0.09; Normed Fit Index, NFI = 0.96; Comparative Fit Index, CFI = 0.96, and Parsimony goodness of Fit Index, PGFI = 0.43), criterion validity (as correlated with HL (r = 0.22, p < 0.01) and DDL (r = 0.19, p < 0.01), and reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.70)). In the multivariate analysis, S-COVID-19-S was associated with a higher likelihood of anxiety (odds ratio, OR, 20.76; 95% confidence interval, 95%CI, 8.85, 48.70; p < 0.001) and depression (OR, 12.95; 95%CI, 6.67, 25.14, p < 0.001). A higher HDK score was associated with a lower likelihood of anxiety (OR, 0.70; 95%CI, 0.64, 0.77; p < 0.001) and depression (OR, 0.72; 95%CI, 0.66, 0.79; p < 0.001). In the interaction analysis, the negative impacts of S-COVID-19-S on anxiety and depression were mitigated by higher HDK scores (p < 0.001). In conclusion, HDK is a valid and reliable tool to measure dietary knowledge in hemodialysis patients. Higher HDK scores potentially protect patients with S-COVID-19-S from anxiety and depression during the pandemic.

“…The relationship revealed that as the health literacy of patients undergoing hemodialysis improved, quality of life also improved, HL and QOL (P<0.01). 6 Bahadori's research results, et al showed that the good health literacy in 6,2 % do not have problems with general health status which is as much as 10,8 %. It was seen in the study of Aygun et al, that with a higher level health literacy were able to assess their own general health.…”

“…18 In CKD patients with a higher levels of health literacy have a better quality of life and are more obedient to lifestyle recommendations than patients who have lower health literacy. 6 Understanding health information is important for a patient's quality of life. The ability to engage with health care providers and actively manage health appears to play a role in adherence to predetermined therapies 15 , adherence to diet, exercise, and home blood pressure monitoring.…”

“…Patients undergoing hemodialysis should understand the symptoms of the disease, how to manage the diet, and be able to cope with changes in the body, changes in daily activities (ADLs) and economic burdens. 6 The situation requires substantial health literacy that affects patients' quality of life undergoing hemodialysis. 6 Health literacy is a skill and competency that allows a person to gain access to, understand and apply health information and positively influence their health and the health of others around their social environment.…”

Patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease require hemodialysis treatment to maintain kidney function. The patients should be prepared to manage symptoms that may arise and cope with physical, psychological and financial changes. In addition, the patients are expected to be able to make their own decisions on how to manage the disease and adhere to treatment. This situation requires good health literacy skills. Little is known about the synthesis of health literacy among patients with chronic kidney disease. Goal: To summarize the available evidence on benefits and factors that affect health literacy in patients undergoing hemodialysis from the available literature. Method: The study reviewed health literacy among patients undergoing hemodialysis. A literature search using a database was conducted in Ebsco, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Emerald in December 2021 using the terms health literacy, hemodialysis, dialysis, CKD, and ESRD. We included studies from 2010-2021 that involved adult patients. Screening title, abstract, and full text were conducted to check each study's eligibility. Results: A total number of eight of 1223 articles were included, with 2,036 respondents. Most included studies found that patients had a low level or inadequate health literacy (n = 5). In contrast, one study shows moderate health literacy (n = 2), and one article found a good level of health literacy. Higher health literacy was shown can improve patients' quality of life. The review summarizes several factors influencing health literacy, such as education, health care providers, life experiences, happiness and anxiety. Conclusion: The review shows that most studies found lower health literacy levels. It is expected that nurses and healthcare professionals can improve health literacy which could positively impact patients' quality of life.
