Abstract

BACKGROUND Various studies have highlighted the correlates to health literacy and quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis therapy. However, evidence of how these two outcomes could influence each other is not clear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the correlation between health literacy and quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis. METHODS This is an integrative review of correlational studies. This study conforms to the preferred reporting items for integrative reviews described by Whitemore and Knafl. We search for studies reporting on the correlation of health literacy and quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis in six databases, that is PubMed, Web of Science/Knowledge, Scopus and Embase, Google Scholar and Ovid MEDLINE. RESULTS In this review five studies were included after screening them against the inclusion criteria. Two studies were identified from Iran, and one study was identified each from Australia, Turkey, and the USA. Most studies were descriptive comparative in nature, while two studies were experimental. Shayan's study had the highest number of participants. This study reports on 1,063 patients receiving dialysis. Most studies were conducted at different centers. Findings from three studies showed that there was a significant relationship between health literacy and quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis. CONCLUSION There is a relationship between health literacy and quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis. Conclusively, addressing health literacy may improve the quality of life among patients receiving hemodialysis.

血液透析患者健康素养与生活质量的关系:一项综合综述

各种研究都强调了接受血液透析治疗的患者的健康素养和生活质量之间的相关性。然而，这两种结果如何相互影响的证据尚不清楚。目的探讨血液透析患者健康素养与生活质量的关系。方法对相关研究进行综合综述。本研究符合Whitemore和Knafl所描述的综合评价的首选报告项目。我们在PubMed、Web of Science/Knowledge、Scopus and Embase、谷歌Scholar和Ovid MEDLINE等6个数据库中检索了有关血液透析患者健康素养与生活质量相关性的研究报告。结果根据纳入标准筛选后纳入了5项研究。从伊朗确定了两项研究，从澳大利亚、土耳其和美国各确定了一项研究。大多数研究本质上是描述性的比较，而两项研究是实验性的。Shayan的研究有最多的参与者。本研究报告了1063例接受透析的患者。大多数研究是在不同的中心进行的。三项研究的结果表明，接受血液透析的患者的健康素养与生活质量之间存在显著关系。结论血液透析患者健康素养与生活质量之间存在相关性。最后，解决健康素养问题可以改善接受血液透析患者的生活质量。

期刊介绍： Human Antibodies is an international journal designed to bring together all aspects of human hybridomas and antibody technology under a single, cohesive theme. This includes fundamental research, applied science and clinical applications. Emphasis in the published articles is on antisera, monoclonal antibodies, fusion partners, EBV transformation, transfections, in vitro immunization, defined antigens, tissue reactivity, scale-up production, chimeric antibodies, autoimmunity, natural antibodies/immune response, anti-idiotypes, and hybridomas secreting interesting growth factors. Immunoregulatory molecules, including T cell hybridomas, will also be featured.
