Mediating Effects of Health Literacy, Self-Efficacy, and Social Support on the Relationship Between Disease Knowledge and Patient Participation Behavior Among Chronic Ill Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on the Capability-Opportunity-Motivatio

This study proposed a conceptual model that includes the mediating effects of health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support, which helps clarify the underlying mechanisms between disease knowledge and patient participation behavior. Targeted interventions to increase disease knowledge, health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support can help chronic ill patients engage more actively in their own healthcare.
