“…Low results were also recorded in the society of Ghana, where as many as 62.3% of respondents presented a problematic or insufficient level of health competence [17]. In studies from Poland, 9.5% of the respondents had insufficient, and 35.8% problematic and 54.5% had sufficient or excellent health capability [18]. The highest results in terms of health competences were obtained by the societies of Israel [13] and Germany [19].…”

“…A large part of the articles analyzed were those assessing the overall level of health competences among societies. The list includes results from Ghana [17], Poland [18], Germany [19], Egypt [20], and Israel [13].

Introduction. The concept of health literacy is often used as “health competence”, “health ability. It involves the skills and motivation of people to obtain and understand health information. To improve health understanding and assessment of health literacy, many instruments have been developed to measure health competences in different populations. Among them there is the multidimensional, comprehensive questionnaire HLS-EU-Q16, developed by the Consortium of European Countries.Aim. Review of health literacy studies using the European Health Competence Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) based on literature analysis.Method. Thematic review, unsystematic literature covering the years 2010-2018. The number of 17 source items was analyzed by the authors.Results. The overall level of health literacy was higher in European research than in non-European research. Low levels of health literacy were found in the elderly and chronically ill, immigrants and prisoners, as well as people with low education. The analysis of the research shows that the limited health skills of the respondents are related to the deterioration of the functional state and cognitive skills in the elderly. The decisive determinant of the low level of health literacy among immigrants and prisoners is unemployment and low level of education. Adequate health education plays a key role in improving the social level of health awareness and contributes to the long-term health of the entire population.

“…According to Norman and Skinner, HL is one of the types of literacy needed for developing eHL [11]. The correlation between both types of literacy, as substantiated in some studies, is at a level of 0.4 [12,13]. However, the association between eHL and health behaviours or clinical outcomes is not so well documented as it is for HL.…”

Background: Public health and health promotion rely on many different interventions, which range from health education and communication, through community mobilisation and changes to environmental conditions, to legal and fiscal actions. The introduction of the increased tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), popularly called sugar tax (ST), and a mandatory programme of vaccinations are the strategies inciting the most vivid discussions in Polish society. The study was intended to assess the determinants of the attitudes of Polish society regarding the ST and to vaccinations. Methods: For the analysis, the data originating from the survey of a representative adult sample of Polish society (n = 1000) was used. The survey was based on computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI). The assessment of the relationships between the selected variables and the opinions about the introduction of the ST and the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations were carried out using the chi2 test and univariate logistic regression models. Results: The acceptance of the ST and vaccination showed a significant relationship to the level of health literacy (HL) but not to eHealth literacy (eHL). Respondents having a higher rather than lower HL; older rather than younger; married rather than singles; retired, or on a disability pension, rather than vocationally active and nonusers of the Internet rather than users were more likely to show an acceptance for both interventions. Those more frequently using health care services and those with chronic diseases showed a greater belief in the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations. Conclusions: The relationship between the opinions of the two public health interventions analysed and the sociodemographic variables demonstrated similar patterns. Interestingly, the opinions were associated only with HL and not with eHL and users of the Internet were more sceptical about the interventions.

ZusammenfassungDas Konzept der digitalen Gesundheitskompetenz ist das Ergebnis der zunehmenden gesellschaftlichen Durchdringung von digitalen Medien und deren Nutzung im Alltag. Infolge der hohen Zugänglichkeit und Allgegenwärtigkeit von Gesundheitsinformationen steigt die Notwendigkeit nicht nur des Suchens und Findens, sondern insbesondere der Einschätzung ihrer Verlässlichkeit und der darauf bezogenen Selektion und Anwendung für eigene Gesundheitsbelange. Gerade im Kontext der Digitalisierung ist zudem zu berücksichtigen, dass die Nutzenden nicht nur passiv rezipieren, sondern aktiv am Kommunikationsgeschehen durch Interaktion mit bestehenden Inhalten oder durch eigene Informationsbeiträge teilhaben.Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt eine Übersicht über den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur digitalen Gesundheitskompetenz, wobei der Fokus vor allem auf dem Kindes- und Jugendalter liegt. Neben seiner terminologisch-konzeptionellen Verortung und der notwendigen Verschränkung mit dem Ansatz der Medienkompetenzen wird das Verhältnis von digitaler Gesundheitskompetenz und sozialer sowie gesundheitlicher Ungleichheit betrachtet. Als ungleichheitsgenerierend wird dabei weniger der unterschiedliche Zugang zu digitalen Medien angesehen, sondern vor allem die Unterschiede in den zum Umgang notwendigen Kompetenzen. Nach einer Übersicht über die wenigen bisher verfügbaren Instrumente zur Erfassung der digitalen Gesundheitskompetenz werden am Beispiel des Settings Schule erste Überlegungen zu ihrer individuellen und strukturellen Stärkung angestellt.
