Abstract

<p>We conducted a cross-sectional observational study using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire to identify factors related to health literacy in adult inpatients with diabetes at a university hospital. We used the Health Literacy Scale, ENDCOREs Scale, and Social Support Scale (Japanese ver. ). We analyzed 54 patients, and a multiple regression analysis was performed for each of the 3 health literacy subscales. The only factor exhibiting a significant correlation with functional health literacy was "support from family and significant others". Those exhibiting a significant correlation with communicative health literacy were Usefulness of information from the Internet, communication skills, and support from significant others. Those exhibiting a significant correlation with critical health literacy were diabetes seminar attendance, Usefulness of information from the Internet, and communication skills. Thus, addressing the factors for which intervention is possible may improve health literacy.</p>
