Factors Associated With the Health Literacy of Caregivers of Patients Undergoing Cranial Neurological Surgery
Key findings showed that caregivers with higher HL were typically younger, male, better educated, and more likely to be healthcare professionals. These caregivers managed patients with lower dependence on daily activities, while those with lower HL, mainly females, cared for patients with higher dependence. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions and public policies to enhance HL among caregivers, particularly to improve outcomes for patients with complex needs.
