卫生知识普及是全空间卫生的一个主要决定因素。在不同的规模上，需要个人和组织努力之间的最佳相互作用，以确保人口具有卫生知识。这是至关重要的，因为健康的社会和环境决定因素在整个生命过程中影响个人和人群。尽管有这些知识，但人们对信仰组织的卫生素养资产和差距知之甚少。根据社区卫生知识普及评估框架，对加纳阿克拉50个宗教组织的卫生知识普及资产和差距进行了评估。具体而言，该研究评估了(1)各组织如何定义健康素养，(2)用于确定其组织中健康素养问题的策略，(3)健康素养资产，以及(4)健康素养差距。对来自各组织的参与者进行了半结构化访谈。专题和总结性内容分析被用来评估、解释和量化来自访谈的数据。结果表明，虽然各组织对健康素养的定义不同，但被引用最多的健康素养含义是正确的健康信息。在确定卫生知识普及问题所使用的战略中，被引用最多的战略是成员的医疗状况。虽然宣布的卫生知识普及资产最多的是各组织的卫生专家，但最常提到的卫生知识普及差距是缺乏或不充分的卫生信息、教育和宣传材料。通过修改后的框架对信仰组织的卫生知识素养进行评估，阐明了我们对组织卫生知识素养状况的理解，以及这些组织如何应对成员的卫生需求。
Health literacy is a major determinant of health across space. At different scales, optimal interplay between individual and organizational efforts is required to ensure a health literate population. This is essential because social and environmental determinants of health influence both the individual and populations across the life course. Despite this knowledge, little is known about faith-based organizations’ health literacy assets and gaps. Drawing on the community health literacy assessment framework, health literacy assets and gaps are assessed among 50 faith-based organizations in Accra, Ghana. Specifically, the study assessed (1) how the organizations defined health literacy, (2) the strategies used in identifying health literacy concerns in their organizations, (3) health literacy assets, and (4) health literacy gaps. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from the organizations. Thematic and summative content analyses were used to appraise, interpret, and quantify the data from the interviews. Results show that while the organizations have varying definitions of health literacy, the most cited meaning of health literacy was right health information. Of the strategies used in identifying health literacy concerns, the most cited strategy was members’ medical status. While the most declared health literacy asset was the health experts of the organizations, the health literacy gap most spoken of was lack or inadequate health information, education, and communication (IEC) materials. An assessment of health literacy of faith-based organizations through a modified framework has illuminated our understanding of health literacy status of organizations and how these organizations may respond to members’ health needs.
