Abstract

Abstract

Objective Based on the perspective of active health, this study aims to identify the problems in health literacy among functional community residents in Shanghai and propose several strategies to improve their health literacy. Methods A sampling survey was conducted among the functional community population in Shanghai utilizing a self-developed questionnaire and the health literacy management scale (HeLMS) from February to June 2023. The survey aimed to assess demographic characteristics, prevalence of underlying health conditions, levels of health literacy, and sources of health knowledge acquisition within this population. Results A total of 333 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding an overall health literacy score of 91.07±17.03. The mean scores for information acquisition ability were 4.49±0.81; for communication and interaction ability, 3.20±0.88; for willingness to improve health, 3.54±0.93; and for willingness to provide economic support, 3.85±1.09. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that self-assessed living conditions, per capita monthly family income, and the number of channels through which health knowledge were influencing factors of health literacy (P < 0.05). Conclusion The overall health literacy of the community in the functional community in Shanghai is insufficient, with good information acquisition ability, while their communication and interaction ability, willingness to improve health, and willingness to provide economic support are generally average. The factors affecting health literacy include the living conditions of the family (self-evaluation), per capita monthly household income, and the number of channels for acquiring health knowledge. One effective way to improve health literacy is to increase the accessibility of health knowledge acquisition channels for the community in the functional community.
