Abstract

Abstract

Objective To estimate the current status and influencing factors of chronic disease health literacy among newly diagnosed diabetic patients and pre-diabetic population among adult residents of Jiangsu Province, and to analyze the relationship between health literacy level and diabetes prevention knowledge, so as to provide a basis for improving the effectiveness of disease prevention and management. Methods A multistage stratified random sample was used to investigate the general information, diabetes prevention knowledge, and health literacy level of 1 502 prediabetic and newly diagnosed patients. Results The screening test identified 1 502 people with new-onset diabetes and prediabetes, with a mean age of (55.09±7.70) years, including 612 (40.7%) men, whose mean chronic disease health literacy entries scored (3.95±0.62); the lowest mean score (3.65±0.90) was for the communication and interaction ability dimension entries, and 768 (51.1%) of the population had an adequate level of chronic disease health literacy. The results of the multifactor analysis showed that socioeconomic factors such as education level, income level, and retirement status were the main influencing factors. The knowledge score of diabetes prevention and control of the surveyed population was positively correlated with the level of health literacy. Conclusions Adult residents with newly diagnosed diabetes and prediabetes in Jiangsu Province have a high level of health literacy, but their level of proactively acquiring health information and solving health problems through communication and interaction is low. The level of health literacy is positively correlated with the score of diabetes prevention knowledge. Low-educated, low-income, and retirees are the targets of health literacy promotion actions.
