Od lat 70. ubiegłego wieku coraz większą uwagę poświęca się modelowi budowania świadomości zdrowotnej ludzi. Istnieje wiele koncepcji i definicji świadomości zdrowotnej (ang. health literacy) oraz modeli pomiaru wielkości tego pojęcia. Podejmowane są również próby porównywania poziomów świadomości zdrowotnej społeczeństw w różnych krajach. Celem poniższego artykułu jest przybliżenie pojęcia świadomości zdrowotnej pacjenta oraz pokazanie na przykładzie dostępnych autorkom opracowania analiz, jaki jest poziom świadomości zdrowotnej wśród polskiego społeczeństwa oraz jakie instrumenty mogą być wykorzystywane do zwiększania tego poziomu. Jak pokazują wyniki analiz przeprowadzonych na materiale zgromadzonym podczas realizacji programu „Zapobieganie nadwadze i otyłości wśród mieszkańców województwa małopolskiego” oraz badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych w ramach programu „Comparative Report of Health Literacy in Eight EU Member States. The European Health Literacy Survey HLS-EU”, w społeczeństwie polskim systematycznie wzrasta świadomość zdrowotna.

Abstract A decade ago the European health literacy field was in its infancy. A comparable study among EU Member States was made to explore if health literacy was as much as a concern in Europe as elsewhere in the world. This article analyses the impact of the European Health Literacy project (2009–2012). Based on the outcomes new avenues for health literacy in Europe are proposed. In spite of progress there is still a strong call for actions to make health literacy a priority in the EU.

Abstract Background Grounded in the last decade's health literacy developments; the work of the European health literacy action networks on measurement and NCDs as well as the newly adopted European Health Literacy Roadmap and resolution agreed upon by their 53 Member States in 2019, the WHO European Region continues its investment in health literacy. A WHO European health literacy action plan is under development to be launched in 2021. The action plan implies concrete actions for Member States on how to develop health literate populations and societies. Methods Based on co-creation principles, the development of the action plan is conducted by stakeholders from a wide range of fields and disciplines. Lead by the WHO European Regional Office, the process includes an initial stakeholder meeting, iterative technical consultations with experts and the wider stakeholder community and Member State consultations. The analytical methods integrate a SWOT-analysis, future scenario thinking and long-sight action planning approaches as well as application of health literacy analytics. Results The results of the initial analytical steps will be presented such as the SWOT analysis, the future scenarios and associated recommendations on how to create health literate populations and societies in Europe. Additionally, the outline of the draft of the European health literacy action plan will be open for discussion and input. Conclusions Through an iterative process, the European health literacy action plan is co-produced by multiple actors through a series of consultations facilitating ownership and accountability. The European health literacy action plan can be an inspiration and a model for other world regions.

Este articulo trata sobre la alfabetización en salud en la comunidad.  En primer lugar se clarifica que se entiende  la salud como  un derecho de todos los seres humanos y tiene que ser sostenida por la sociedad. Se introduce la promoción de la salud como enfoque teniendo en cuenta que se define como un proceso que permite a las personas incrementar el control sobre su salud y la importancia de la alfabetización en salud como uno de los pilares básicos. Se desarrolla el concepto de alfabetización en salud a partir de múltiples definiciones, se revisan algunas por su significación y se recogen tres elementos claves a partir del análisis de la mayoría de ellas. Se reconoce que el concepto es multidimensional, complejo y heterogéneo. Se recopilan los conocimientos sobre el tema a partir de los estudios realizados. Se presentan algunos de los instrumentos para la medida de la alfabetización en salud. Por su relevancia en el contexto europeo se presenta el modelo de Sorensen y su desarrollo en el cuestionario European Health Literacy Survey que permitió conocer el nivel de alfabetización en salud en ocho países europeos. Finalmente se introducen los entornos saludables como estrategia para facilitar la alfabetización en salud de las personas en la comunidad y se comentan los aspectos más relevantes de cada uno de ellos.

Abstract Background Portugal has experienced trough-out his recent history successive migration patterns. Lately, with instability in Syria and the Mediterranean routes of migration between Africa and Europe, new challenges have emerged. One of them is related to migrants’ health and their navigation of health care system. In order to better understand cultural patterns of migrants, this research aims to explore their health literacy (HL) in the context of the European Health Literacy Survey framework (HLS-EU). Methods A total of 748 participants from the different offices of a company in the financial sector (Portugal, main land and autonomous territories) participated in a cross sectional survey (CAWI). Age ranged from 25 to 65 years and HL was measured using the HLS-EU instrument validated to Portuguese (HLS-EU-PT). Each participant was allocated to one of the groups, either of satisfactory HL (when scores ≥30) or insufficient HL (when scores <30). In order to access the migrant condition, a proxy variable considered the participant’s parents origin: at least one of the parents was born in a foreign country. Results Out of the 748 participants, 4.1% (n = 31) were considered migrants. Of the migrant participants, 6.9% have inadequate, 51.7% problematic, 24.1% sufficient and 17.2% excellent HL (HLS-EU-PT). Migrants have lower levels of HL when compared with nationals in this sample (respectively 58.6% and 45.8% for insufficient HL) but this difference is not statistically significant. Conclusions Although results didn’t show an association between being migrant and lower levels of HL (when compared with nationals), it is nevertheless relevant to consider that more than 1 in every two migrants (58.6%) have insufficient HL levels. Special consideration should be given to this group to promote HL levels and further research is needed to better understand how HL and cultural sensitiveness may work for a better integration of migrants.

Background and Objectives: To investigate the health literacy (HL) among older adults in Taiwan, we referenced an existing integrated model of HL to confirm the influencing factors of HL in older adults. We propose this study to examine the personal, situational, and socioenvironmental factors influencing HL among older adults. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at a district hospital and affiliated community center in northern Taiwan from August 2016 to May 2017. This study used the Mandarin Chinese version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (EU-Q47). We designed three models based on the three domains of HL. Model 1 assesses personal factors. Model 2 incorporates situational factors. Model 3 adds the socioenvironmental factor. Results: We recruited 161 participants aged over 65 years. Most adults in this study had limited overall HL. The final regression model revealed that age >85 years, unknown insurance status, and dominant spoken dialect of Hakka or Taiwanese were significantly associated with higher scores of HL. Conclusions: Our study results may help clinicians with early identification of older adults at high risk for poor HL and help health administrators establish geriatric policies and health education plans.

The report has drawn together knowledge from an extensive set of sources. These include the contemporary scientific literature, the views of an international expert scientific panel, current practice, employer and employee representatives and a number of official authorities from member states of the European Union (EU). The need for EU consensus regarding diagnostic criteria is identified. Size of the problem across EU member states has been reported. Understanding of the biological mechanisms of WRULDs varies greatly and it is dependent on the specific disorder. A strong positive relationship between some WRULDs and the performance of work, especially where workers were highly exposed to workplace risk factors is noted. Identifying workers in the extreme exposure categories should become a priority for any preventative strategy. Current scientific knowledge and existing general advice in European health and safety directives, etc., already provide some strategies for preventing WRULDs. Further action is suggested.

Objective: to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the health literacy questionnaire European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire short-short form (HLS-EU-Q6) in Brazilian adults. Method: the instrument was translated and pre-tested in a sample of 50 individuals. Subsequently, it was applied to a sample of 783 adult individuals. The data went through an appropriate process of testing the properties, with the combination of techniques of Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Item Response Theory. For the assessment of reliability, the Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's Omega indicators were used. Cross-validation with full data analysis was applied. Results: the majority of the participants was female (68.1%), with a mean age of 38.6 (sd=14.5) years old and 33.5% studied up to elementary school. The results indicated a unidimensional model with an explained variance of 71.23%, adequate factor load levels, commonality and item discrimination, as well as stability and replicability of the instrument to other populations. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of HLS-EU-Q6 indicated that the instrument is suitable for indiscriminate application in the population to which it is intended to assess health literacy levels.
