Objectives: To examine the pathway in which health literacy affects diabetic patients' quality of life (QoL) with self-care management skills and glycemic control levels (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) mediating the relationship. Methods:A cross-sectional study carried out between April 2019 and September 2019. A convenience sample of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from 3 primary healthcare centers, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using structured interviews and HbA1c levels were collected from medical files. Structural equation modeling was also used.Results: Among the 256 participants, 27.3% had a marginal level of health literacy and 35.5% had an inadequate level of health literacy. Health literacy positively affects self-care management, glycemic control (HbA1c), and QoL directly and indirectly.

“…Existing systematic review mainly focused on measuring eHealth literacy and bibliometric analysis of instruments, that can help users summarize the current knowledge on the development of existing measurement instruments in health (Tavousi, M., Mohammadi, S., Sadighi, J., Zarei, F., Kermani, R. M., Rostami, R., & Montazeri, A., 2022), (Crocker, B., Feng, O., & Duncan, L.

The study supplies a conceptual framework for the development and use of eHealth literacy in digital health management, as well as in government and international eHealth management activities. This study aims to gain a deep understanding and analysis of eHealth literacy measurement trends through a systematic review and analysis of articles published (from January 2006 to January 2023) in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. There are fifteen original and high-quality validation studies found in the systematic literature review on measuring eHealth literacy. The study found three stages in the development of eHealth literacy measurement, which are characterized by a suitable set of skills. eHLS-Web 3.0 has high internal and external consistency scores, and eHEALS and HLS-EU-Q-16 have higher reliability for the basic development of an international eHealth literacy measurement instrument in digital health management. This study is a research program to guide future study and help knowledge accumulation and creation on eHealth Literacy instruments and their implementation in digital health management. The result of the study was supplied eHealth instruments for the implementation and training of eHealth Literacy in information systems. Future research themes in eHealth literacy will include the standardization of eHealth assessment instruments and the development of health strategies for different target audiences of various levels of management. And, to encourage further progress in the development of methodology and the application of eHealth literacy in information systems.

“…Although there has been an increase in studies carried out in this field, there has been limited progress due to the lack of an accepted method for measuring food literacy. Thus, in order to guide the advancement of knowledge and ensure the effectiveness of nutritional interventions, a scale should be designed to analyze food literacy levels and the diets of diabetic patients [ 14 ]. The present study was carried out to develop a questionnaire to measure factors related to food literacy of diabetic patients and to analyze its psychometric features.…”

“…Factors that affect a diabetic patient's self-care behavior include food literacy and following a healthy diet [12]. Previous studies on food literacy have not focused on the effects of healthy diets, but have only taken general health literacy into account [3,[13][14][15]. Although there has been an increase in studies carried out in this field, there has been limited progress due to the lack of an accepted method for measuring food literacy.…”

Background One of the factors affecting self-care in diabetic patients is food literacy, which helps said patients in following a healthy diet. Thus, it is crucial to analyze food literacy in diabetic patients through suitable and reliable instruments. Objective The current study aimed to design a questionnaire for food literacy assessment in diabetic patients and analyze its psychometric features. Method The present study was a cross-sectional descriptive analysis carried out in 2021. Firstly, the concepts of food literacy in diabetic patients were identified and the questionnaire was deigned based on them. Secondly, its face and content validities and its reliability were analyzed. Finally, the construct validity was analyzed by exploratory factor analysis. The study was carried out on 300 diabetic participants chosen at random via stratified cluster sampling from Health service centers. The exploratory factor analysis was carried out by extracting the main factors and using varimax rotation with eigenvalue values more than 1. Results A five-pronged structure accounted for 52.745% of food literacy variance. This included the ability to read food facts, practical ability to group foods, the ability to identify the caloric content of different foods, the ability to understand the effect of food on health, and the ability to prepare a healthy meal. Items with an impact score below 1.5 were discarded. Additionally, items with CVR scores below 0.62 and CVI scores below 0.79 were deleted too. The Kaiser-Meyer-Okin measurement was 0.836 (p < 0.001). Alpha Cronbach Scale dimension was 0.610–0.951. Conclusion The results of this study showed that the exploratory dimensions of the current study were consistent with health literacy measurements, such as functional, interactive, and critical food literacy. This scale has acceptable reliability and validity. Health professionals can use this scale to analyze and improve food literacy in diabetic patients. This is a new instrument and thus far no questionnaire has been made to evaluate food literacy in diabetic patients.
