To summarize current research on health literacy among patients with epilepsy, clarify key influencing factors, and systematically sort out common intervention strategies.
Approach:
Literature Review: A narrative review approach was adopted to synthesize qualitative and heterogeneous evidence from various studies on health literacy in epilepsy.
Key Findings:
Individual characteristics (age, education level, cognitive function), family and social support, and healthcare resource accessibility significantly affect health literacy in epilepsy patients.
Comprehensive intervention measures can effectively improve patients’ health literacy and self-management ability.
Existing studies lack standardized assessment tools and long-term follow-up data.
Interpretation:
The review highlights the need for a comprehensive synthesis of health literacy research in epilepsy to identify high-risk populations and guide future research and practice.
Limitations:
Most studies focus on unidimensional aspects of health literacy rather than treating it as a multidimensional concept.
Digital health literacy has not received sufficient attention, leading to a disconnect between digital health interventions and patients' abilities.
Conclusion:
This narrative review provides a comprehensive reference for clinical medical staff to formulate targeted health literacy intervention strategies for patients with epilepsy.
Federal prosecutors allege that a Florida physician and research staff fabricated clinical trial records that were submitted into database systems used to evaluate investigational drugs.
