Characteristics and Correlates of Health Information Literacy Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study
Overall, the health information literacy among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes coexisting with metabolic syndrome is suboptimal. Study findings demonstrated that personal and social contextual resources factors are significantly related to health information literacy. Health care professionals should consider strategies to enhance people's health information literacy level and promote individuals' health problem-solving, enhance chronic illness resources, and improve self-management knowledge when developing tailored interventions.
