Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study aims to identify the relationship between health literacy competencies and patient-centered care by clinical nurses.
Methods
The participants were 180 nurses working at three university hospitals located in G City and J Province, South Korea. Self-evaluation questionnaires were used to collect data that were collected from June 1 to 30, 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SPSS 26.0.
Results
The mean of health literacy competencies was 3.19 (4 point scale) and the mean of patient-centered care was 3.48 (5 point scale). There were significant positive relationships between health literacy competencies and patient-centered care by clinical nurses (r = .50, p < .001). Factors influencing the health literacy competencies of clinical nurses were identified as education level (university) (β = .82), education level (masters) (β = .74), prior health literacy knowledge (β = .52), and health literacy competencies (β = .44). The explanatory power of this regression model was 36%, which was statistically significant (F = 17.65, p < .001).
Conclusion
Clinical nurses’ health literacy competencies should be developed to improve patient-centered care. Nursing education programs should emphasize the integration of health literacy into the nursing school curriculum.
