Association of Health Literacy With Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery

Abstract: Lower health literacy levels are independently associated with longer index hospitalization lengths of stay for patients who are undergoing major abdominal surgery. The role of health literacy needs to be further evaluated within surgical practices to improve health care outcomes and use.

“…Numeracy is defined as the ability to perform mathematical tasks such as working with fractions and use of numerical information over prose. Across studies, 59% of these studies measured literacy or reading comprehension (59%, n = 30) (Cajita et al, 2017;Cayci et al, 2018;Chu & Tseng, 2013;Conlin & Schumann, 2002;Dageforde et al, 2015;Dageforde et al, 2014;Garcia-Marcinkiewicz et al, 2014;Halbach et al, 2016;Halleberg Nyman et al, 2018;Hallock et al, 2017;Huang et al, 2018;Keim-Malpass et al, 2018;Khan et al, 2018;Koster et al, 2017;Lambert et al, 2015;Mahoney et al, 2018;Mercieca-Bebber et al, 2017;Miller-Matero et al, 2015;Patzer et al, 2016;Scarpato et al, 2016;Schmidt et al, 2016;Tang et al, 2017;Taylor et al, 2016;Tung et al, 2014;Turkoglu et al, 2019;Wallace et al, 2007;Wallace et al, 2009;Wright et al, 2018;Zite & Wallace, 2011), 21.5% measured both reading comprehension and numeracy (n = 11) (Beitler et al, 2010; HeLMS (Jordan et al, 2013) 24 items that test four dimensions: (1) information acquisition ability, (2) communication and interaction ability, (3) willingness to improve health, and 4 Chew, Bradley, Flum, et al 2004;Choi, 2011;Gordon & Wolf, 2009;Grubbs et a...…”

“…Eine Übersichtsarbeit kommt zu dem Schluss, dass niedrige Ge sundheitskompetenz im Kontext eines chirurgischen Eingriffs mit einem schlechteren Verständnis von Informationen, schlechterer Adhärenz bezüglich der Prämedikation und mit abweichenden chi rurgischen Ergebnissen assoziiert ist [118]. Eine aktuelle Studie aus der Abdominalchirurgie zeigt, dass eine geringere Gesundheits kompetenz zwar mit einem längeren Krankenhausaufenthalt asso ziiert ist, jedoch nicht die poststationäre Inanspruchnahme der Notaufnahme oder die Wiedereinweisungsrate erhöht [119]. Be züglich der unnötigen Inanspruchnahme von Notaufnahmen deu ten Studienergebnisse demgegenüber auf einen negativen Einfluss einer geringen Gesundheitskompetenz hin [120].…”

“…Develop ways to make information accessible to the population in which it is being served. Low levels of schooling -poor patient literacy, for example, can interfere negatively with the prognosis of the disease, as the understanding of medical guidance is impaired, thereby increasing mortality rates, visits to emergency centers and readmissions 15 .…”
