Description

Whether in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, or public health settings, nurses provide care to more than 90 million Americans who struggle to locate, comprehend, and appropriately use health information (Zarcadoolas, Pleasant, & Greer, 2006). Participants in improving health literacy as a public health objective represent all parts of the health care arena (Schloman, 2004). In Healthy People 2010, health literacy is defined as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions" (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2000, section 11, p. 20). The term also refers to the ability of individuals to understand, make decisions, and act on spoken, written, and visual health information in order to lower risk and improve health status. Adequate knowledge about health behaviors is considered prerequisite in behavior change (Seligman et al., 2007).
