“…11 Walker and colleagues found health literacy to be significant and positively associated with health knowledge. 12 Lack of knowledge left patients unable to recognize and respond to adverse side effects as reported by Davis et al 13 US Department of Health and Human Services searched several databases. According to this survey, many studies measured the relationship between literacy levels and knowledge of the use of health care services: Mammography, Cervical cancer screening, Emergency department discharge instructions, Heart Health Knowledge and informed consent, all of these demonstrated a statistically significant association between higher literacy level and knowledge of matters relating to use of these health services.…”

INTRODUCTIONOne third of outpatient"s visits to the gynaecologists are for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), and it accounts for more than 70% of all gynaecologic consults in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. The International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) has proposed a classification system for 9 major causes of AUB (PALMCOEIN).2 and the likely cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is usually related to age. Abnormal bleeding caused by hormone imbalance is more common in teenagers or in women who are approaching menopause. Obesity, PCOS, anorexia or crash diets, stress and extreme exercise account can all disrupt normal ovulatory function and may be considered as preventable risk factors for AUB.3 There has been a move to describe AUB in terms of its impact on a woman"s physical, emotional, social and material quality of life (QOL).Though few studies have been done to assess the burden of AUB on society however, the knowledge of women regarding various aspects of AUB and its association with their socio demographic status had never been assessed. Hence, the study was undertaken to assess the knowledge and attitude of women with AUB in relation to their education level and socio economic status. METHODSThis was a cross sectional descriptive study carried out among women with AUB. Two hundred women with ABSTRACT Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common but overlooked condition. The lack of information and poor attitude towards health is often the reason. The knowledge of women regarding AUB and the preventable factors and its association with their education and socioeconomic status has never been assessed. Hence, the study was undertaken to assess the knowledge and attitude of women with AUB regarding the condition, its etiology, risk factors and treatment modalities in relation to their education and socio economic status. Methods:The cross sectional descriptive study was carried out among women with AUB. Structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect the required information. Knowledge of AUB and its risk factors from women with AUB were given scores 1-8 and 1-6 respectively. Information on education and socioeconomic status was also noted. Statistical analysis of data was done. Results: Knowledge score for AUB ≤4 and its risk factors ≤3 was found in 63% and 72% of respondents respectively. Poor reading ability and low socio economic status was significantly associated with poor knowledge scores. Conclusions:Intensive enlightenment of population using the mass media by trained personnel and strengthening of primary health care services is recommended.

“…Those authors claimed that the concept map was a good way to add to the patients' knowledge and foster empowerment. In contrast, Walker et al [23] found no difference in their randomized study of 363 patients. The education used either a booklet combined with a mind map-type visual aid, or the booklet alone.…”

“…The studies that were found had varying results with regard to the effects of using concept mapping on patients [21][22][23]. That variability was due, in part, to the fact that different effects were being measured; two studies looked at the effects on knowledge [22,23], and a third looked at the impact on quality of life [21].…”

“…That variability was due, in part, to the fact that different effects were being measured; two studies looked at the effects on knowledge [22,23], and a third looked at the impact on quality of life [21]. None of the studies allowed measurement of concept mapping's effects on patients' problem-solving skills.…”

“…The variability of the results is also explained by the fact that the methods for using concept maps in the three randomized controlled trials were not comparable; in one study [22], the concept map was constructed through interaction with the patient, suggesting feedback activity during a two-person construction process, while in the two other studies [21,23] it was constructed by the educator beforehand as a visual aid to learning. In other fields -like biology [37], for example -concept mapping combined with feedback resulted in improved student problem-solving and a lower error rate, an effect not found in the group for which concept mapping was not added to feedback.…”

ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review to assess the effectiveness of patient education interventions delivered or directed by health professionals for people with musculoskeletal conditions who also have lower levels of literacy.MethodsElectronic databases were searched from 1946 to May 2012. Randomized controlled trials with primary interventions designed specifically for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions and lower levels of literacy were eligible for inclusion. The quality of the study was determined by assessing method of randomization, allocation concealment, creation and maintenance of comparable groups, blinding of patients and providers, control of confounding, and the validity and reliability of outcome measures.ResultsOf the 2,440 studies located using the search strategy, 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. Three public health community studies and 3 rheumatology clinic-based studies delivered educational programs to people with musculoskeletal conditions who also had lower levels of literacy. Three moderate quality studies suggest that musculoskeletal educational interventions had a small short-term effect on knowledge and 2 moderate quality studies suggest musculoskeletal interventions had a small effect on self-efficacy (although results on self-efficacy were conflicting in 1 of these studies). Only 1 moderate quality study showed a small effect on anxiety and 1 on self-perceived health and well-being in people with lower literacy.ConclusionHigh quality evidence is lacking on the effectiveness of musculoskeletal education interventions for people with lower literacy levels. Research programs that test the effectiveness of patient education interventions for arthritis must recruit and engage people with lower levels of literacy.
