“…Health literacy impacts health and diseases; therefore, improving health literacy is crucial [ 8 ]. Thus, individuals’ health literacy should be first assessed to provide tailored health information and education, and a valid instrument is required to conduct an accurate health literacy assessment [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Backgrounds This study administered the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) among Korean adults to examine its factor structure, reliability, and validity. Methods The HLQ items were translated and culturally adapted to the Korean context. The convenience sampling method was used, and data were collected. The difficulty level, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using diagonal weighted least squares (DWLS) estimator in R, discriminant validity, and composite reliability were performed. Results The easiest scale to obtain a high score was “Scale 4. Social support for health” and the hardest was “Scale 7. Navigating the healthcare system.” Nine one-factor models fitted well. The nine-factor structural equation model fitted the data well. All HLQ scales were homogenous, with composite reliability. Conclusions The Korean version of the HLQ has a strong construct and high composite reliability when applied to Korean adults.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the impact of health literacy on adherence of medication among older adults living alone and to determine the mediating effect of e-health literacy in the relationship between the two variables. Method: A total of 91 older people living alone who visited a general hospital and welfare center participated, and data collection was conducted from July 20, 2023 to August 30, 2023. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlations, Model 4 of PROCESS macro were used for data analysis. Results: Health literacy of older adults living alone was found to have a significant effect on adherence of medication (β=.33, p<.001) and e-health literacy (β=.34, p<.001). E-health literacy was found not to mediate the relationship between health literacy and adherence of medication (Indirect effect: β=-.02, 95% confidence interval [-.08~.02]). Health literacy was significantly different depending on age (F=6.87, p=.002), education background (F=10.36, p<.001), and monthly income (F=7.98, p<.001). There was a significant difference in adherence of medication based on age (F=4.38, p=.015). Also, e-health literacy had significant differences in age (F=10.05, p<.001), education background (F=7.91, p<.001), and monthly income (F=7.38, p<.001). Conclusion: When providing education to older adults living alone to improve adherence of medication, medical staff and nurses should identify health literacy, provide repetitive medication education tailored to the level of health literacy of each elderly living alone, and critically receive indiscriminate health information from the Internet.
