Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of self efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge on health literacy of young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease.
MethodsInvestigation was conducted among 500 patients using general questionnaire, chronic health literacy scale, self-efficacy scale and coronary heart disease knowledge questionnaire.
ResultsThe score of health literacy for young and middle-aged patients was (97.76±15.45), and 57% of the patients had good health literacy.Self-efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge were positively correlated with health literacy(r=0.301, r=0.309; P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that self-efficacy(β=0.210), coronary heart disease knowledge (β=0.226) were significant factors of health literacy(both P<0.01).
ConclusionThe self-efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge have impact on the health literacy.The more self-efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge, the higher health literacy.
Key words:
