Effect of Health Literacy and Patient Activation on Health-Seeking Behaviour: A Cross-Sectional Study in Turkey
Background
The study aimed to investigate the effect of health literacy and patient activation on health-seeking behaviour. In addition, the role of general health status and age variables in this effect was also addressed.
Methods
The research using quantitative methods is cross-sectional. The participant information form, health literacy scale, patient activation scale and health-seeking behaviour scale were used in the study. In addition to descriptive analyses, difference analysis, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the study. The study participants consisted of 1045 adult individuals living in Turkey.
Results
According to the correlation analysis results, it was determined that health literacy and patient activation were significantly positively associated with health-seeking behaviour. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the independent variables of health literacy, patient activation, age and general health status significantly affected health-seeking behaviour. Accordingly, patient activation and general health status positively affect health-seeking behaviour, while health literacy and age have a negative effect.
Conclusion
To positively improve individuals’ health-seeking behaviours, it is thought that it would be appropriate to focus on individuals whose general health status is not good, who are not actively involved in their treatment, who have high health literacy and who are elderly.
Patient or Public Contribution
Since the research examines the effect of patient activation and health literacy on health-seeking behaviour, it is of great importance for the research that the public and patients are included in the study from the design of the research to the presentation of the findings. The emergence of the study was made possible by the public and patients’ evaluations of the research topics and their participation in the survey.
期刊介绍:
Health Expectations promotes critical thinking and informed debate about all aspects of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in health and social care, health policy and health services research including:
• Person-centred care and quality improvement
• Patients'' participation in decisions about disease prevention and management
• Public perceptions of health services
• Citizen involvement in health care policy making and priority-setting
• Methods for monitoring and evaluating participation
• Empowerment and consumerism
• Patients'' role in safety and quality
• Patient and public role in health services research
• Co-production (researchers working with patients and the public) of research, health care and policy
Health Expectations is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research, review articles and critical commentaries. It includes papers which clarify concepts, develop theories, and critically analyse and evaluate specific policies and practices. The Journal provides an inter-disciplinary and international forum in which researchers (including PPIE researchers) from a range of backgrounds and expertise can present their work to other researchers, policy-makers, health care professionals, managers, patients and consumer advocates.
