health emmpowerment among

Reserch problem
• In many countries, older adults are the fastest growing
population; this may lead to substantial burdens of chronic
diseases on society. The prevention and management of
chronic diseases depend not only on the availability of
health care resources but also the self-care behaviors of
individuals. More now than ever before, older adults are
increasingly expected to play a more proactive role in
promoting health and managing diseases. Health literacy
has been recognized as a key factor influencing chronic
disease prevention and management because of its
relevance to self-care activities, health information
navigation, communication of health problems,
self-efficacy, and health-related decisionmaking.
Research gap
• Compared with traditional health education
approaches, using communication strategies
specific to health literacy is more effective for
improving some health-related outcomes,
particularly knowledge. Although knowledge
gained from easy-to-read material or multimedia
aids increases for individuals with limited health
literacy, no studies have demonstrated that
simpler written materials improve long-term
desired behaviors and health outcomes.
