Abstract

Strengthening the health literacy (HL) skills of the healthcare users is a multicomponent process involving the users, the healthcare professionals, the stakeholders, and the environment. Health organizations, universities, private initiatives, and funded projects focused on developing and implementing continuing education courses target at increasing healthcare professionals' HL. This scoping review aimed at reporting the HL continuing education courses for healthcare professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills in identifying and supporting healthcare users with limited HL, and particularly, older people. This review followed the five stages by Arksey and O'Malley framework and the guidelines by Joanna Briggs Institute for scoping reviews. Peer-reviewed papers and gray literature published between years 2000 to 2020 were included in this bibliometric search utilizing four electronic databases (PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PSYCHINFO, and Opengrey). Twenty-seven (27) papers met the criteria, including twenty-one (21) full-texts and six (6) other records (website contents, eLearning, and funded projects). There is a lack of HL tools that address the training needs of healthcare professionals working with older adults. Tailored HL tools could benefit healthcare professionals' clinical work by improving their communication with older adults.

针对医疗保健专业人员的健康素养继续教育课程和工具：范围综述。

加强医疗保健用户的健康素养（HL）技能是一个多元过程，涉及用户、医疗保健专业人员、利益相关者和环境。医疗机构、大学、私人倡议和资助项目都致力于开发和实施以提高医护专业人员健康素养为目标的继续教育课程。是次范围界定综述旨在报告为医护专业人员而设的健康生活持续教育课程，以提升他们在识别和支援健康生活能力有限的医护使用者（尤其是长者）方面的知识和技能。本综述遵循 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的五个阶段框架以及 Joanna Briggs 研究所的范围界定综述指南。利用四个电子数据库（PUBMED、MEDLINE、CINAHL、PSYCHINFO 和 Opengrey）对 2000 年至 2020 年间发表的同行评审论文和灰色文献进行了文献计量学检索。符合标准的论文有 27 篇，包括 21 篇全文和 6 篇其他记录（网站内容、在线学习和资助项目）。目前还缺乏能满足从事老年人工作的医疗保健专业人员培训需求的人文L工具。量身定制的语音工具可以改善医护人员与老年人的沟通，从而有益于他们的临床工作。
