THE HEALTH LITERACY OF PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION: SCOPING REVIEW
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to find out there is a link between ZG and hypertension. Methods: In the electronic databases Ebsco Academic Search Complete were searched for primary studies that used validated measures to assess health literacy in patients with hypertension. The search for the research studies was based on a combination of the following keywords: health literacy, hypertension, measurement, information, and knowledge. Exclusion criteria: not a primary study, does not concern research on hypertension, unrelated to health literacy research or obtaining of information and acquiring of knowledge, not available in full-text, or clear research methodology description not available. The data were processed using thematic analysis based on the sorting method. Results: The health literacy in patients with hypertension is not widely studied. There are a lack of hypertension-specific health literacy screening instruments. The majority of studies used quantitative methods of research with standardized tools. A total of 7 out of 10 studies indicate that there are links between poor health literacy and hypertension. However, not enough data has been obtained for the time being to clearly explain the causality between these variables.
