Measuring the medication literacy level of community residents: a cross-sectional study
The level of medication literacy among community residents was commendable. However, the proportion of individuals with high medication literacy levels remained insufficient. Key influencing factors, such as medication knowledge, attitude, behaviors, and skills, are explored, offering insights for the government to implement initiatives that publicize medication knowledge, monitor and improve public medication behaviors, promote health education, and enhance community medication literacy and health development.
