Abstract

Objective: . This study aims to identify predictive factors of COVID-19-related health literacy (HL) among older adults living in rural areas.

Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 106 respondents participated in this study. HL was measured by using a questionnaire modified from the HLS-COVID-Q22, in addition, the scales 'Health Information Seeking','Family's Social Support Scale', 'Health Service Utilization'; and information on some socio-demographic variables was also obtained. A multiple linear regression model was used to identify the predictors of HL.

Results: About two-thirds of the respondents had a moderate level of HL (63.2%). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, family support, information source, and gender were significant predictors for HL (p<0.01).

Conclusion: HL literacy was better among males, highly educated older people, media users, and those with adequate family support. This study provided insight for nurses and healthcare professionals to pay greater attention to vulnerable groups of older people (ie. female gender and those with less formal education) as well as involve family members in education or health promotion activities and use easily accessed media, such as television and radio.

印度尼西亚农村地区老年人COVID-19相关健康素养的预测因素

客观的本研究旨在确定居住在农村地区的老年人的COVID-19相关健康素养（HL）的预测因素。方法本研究采用了横断面设计。共有106名受访者参与了这项研究。HL采用HLS-COVID-Q22修订的问卷进行测量，此外还有“健康信息寻求量表”、“家庭社会支持量表”和“卫生服务利用量表”；还获得了一些社会人口变量的信息。使用多元线性回归模型来确定HL的预测因素。结果。约三分之二的受访者具有中度HL水平（63.2%）。多元线性回归分析显示，教育水平、家庭支持、信息来源和性别是HL的显著预测因素（p<0.01）。结论。男性、受过高等教育的老年人，媒体用户以及那些有足够家庭支持的人。这项研究为护士和医疗保健专业人员提供了见解，让他们更加关注弱势老年群体（即女性和受教育程度较低的人），让家庭成员参与教育或健康促进活动，并使用电视和广播等易于访问的媒体。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
