在过去的十年中，健康素养已被认为是一个重要的公共卫生问题。健康素养低下是普通人群中普遍存在的问题，影响着超过 9000 万美国人。越来越多的研究表明，健康素养低下与各种慢性病的健康结果较差之间存在关联。尽管慢性肾脏病 (CKD) 的患病率不断增加，人们对健康素养也产生了浓厚的兴趣，但针对健康素养在 CKD 各个阶段的个体中的作用的研究仍然有限。本文通过回顾该主题的早期研究，探讨了健康素养在肾脏疾病中的作用，提供了健康素养与健康结果之间关系的概念模型，并强调了 CKD 健康素养未来研究的潜在领域。 Am J 肾病杂志 53：884-889。 (C) 2009 年，国家肾脏基金会 (National Kidney Foundation, Inc.)
Health literacy has been recognized as an important public health issue over the past decade. Low health literacy is a widespread problem in the general population, affecting over 90 million Americans. A growing body of research has demonstrated the association between low health literacy and worse health outcomes in a variety of chronic conditions. Despite the increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the considerable interest in health literacy, there has been limited research examining the role of health literacy in individuals at all stages of CKD. This article examines the role of health literacy in kidney disease by reviewing early research on the topic, providing a conceptual model of the relationship between health literacy and health outcomes, and highlighting potential areas for future research on health literacy in CKD.
