“…The higher scores indicate higher health literacy. The Cronbach's ɑ for the Chinese version of this scale was 0.87 and the correlation coefficients between each item and the total score ranged from 0.61–0.91 (Yue et al, ).…”

“…It comprises three dimensions, functional, interactive and critical health literacy, with 12 items. This scale has been translated into Chinese and its psychometric properties have been validated (Yue, Zhang, Lu, & Jin, 2016). This is a self-report scale that uses four scoring options from 1 (inapplicable) -4 (strongly applicable).…”

Aims:To examine the effects of health literacy, activities of daily living, frailty and self-care on rehospitalization for older adults with chronic heart failure using a structural equation model. Design: This was a cross-sectional study.Methods: Two hundred and seventy-one older patients with chronic heart failure were recruited using a convenience sampling method from three community healthcare centres in Guangzhou, Southern China. The data were collected using a questionnaire survey between April 2018 and October 2018 by three research assistants. Findings: The proposed model revealed a good fit to the data (χ 2 /d.f. = 2.39, root mean square error of approximation = 0.06, goodness of fit index = 0.93, comparative fit index = 0.91, normed fit index = 0.91). Health literacy (β = 0.21), activities of daily living (β = 0.43), frailty (β = 0.29) and self-care (β = 0.40) directly affected the rehospitalization of older patients with chronic heart failure. Health literacy (β = 0.19), activities of daily living (β = 0.36) and frailty (β = 0.33) indirectly affected rehospitalization through self-care. Frailty (β = 0.16) indirectly affected rehospitalization by activities of daily living. Activities of daily living had the highest direct and total effects on rehospitalization; the effect values were 0.43 and 0.57, respectively.Conclusion: Community-dwelling older adults with chronic heart failure who had limited health literacy, frailty, declined activities of daily living and lower self-care were eligible for rehospitalization. Self-care and activities of daily living were considered mediators between rehospitalization and its predictors. A future longitudinal study is required to validate the results. Impact: Tailored and targeted measures aiming to enhance self-care and activities of daily living have been developed for older patients with chronic heart failure because they are not only predictors but also mediators. Assessment of health literacy level of this population is the first step before developing health education. Frailty of patients with chronic heart failure should be reduced to a minimum level.

Inadequate health literacy is common among adults with HF. The disease management process in HF closely depends on health literacy. No questionnaire is used to assess health literacy among Turkish patients with heart failure. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish form of the ‘Heart Failure-Specific Health Literacy Scale’. The research is a methodological study design. The study was conducted at the cardiology clinic between May and July 2021, located in the eastern part of Türkiye. The study sample consisted of 121 patients with HF. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Heart Failure-Specific Health Literacy Scale. The patients’ mean age was 62.88 ± 12.55 and 66.9% were men. Based on the factor analysis, three factors with eigenvalue above 1 have been identified. These model has been determined as x2 = 80.209, sd = 49 and p = 0.003. The fit indices were as follows: x2/SD = 1.637; RMSEA = 0.073, GFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.94, IFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.92 and NFI = 0.87. The scale has a total Cronbach’s alpha of 0.66. With test–retest analysis, it was determined that it had a good, positive and significant correlation in terms of both the scale and its sub-dimensions. The Turkish form of the form is a valid and reliable tool.
