Abstract:

Introduction: In Portugal, health literacy has started to be addressed through national policies, but research on the topic is still scarce. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of limited health literacy in Portugal using an existing health literacy instrument, the Newest Vital Sign.Materials and Methods: Following cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument, a sample of 249 participants was evaluated to assess reliability and construct validity of the Newest Vital Sign; the latter was tested assuming physicians would score highest, followed by health researchers, then by engineering researchers and finally by laypersons from the general population. We applied this validated version in a representative sample of 1544 Portuguese-speaking residents in Portugal aged between 16 and 79 years and quantified the associations between limited health literacy and sociodemographic characteristics.Results: The instrument showed high reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.85). Health-related occupation showed association with higher scores in the Newest Vital Sign (p trend < 0.001). The prevalence of limited health literacy in the Portuguese population was 72.9% (95% CI: 69.4 - 76.4). We found no differences between men and women, but persons with limited health literacy were significantly older (p < 0.001) and less educated (p < 0.001).Discussion: The burden of limited health literacy in Portugal is higher than that in other European countries. It should drive a universal precautions approach to health communication at all levels of the health system.Conclusion: We validated a brief and simple instrument and estimated the prevalence of limited health literacy in the literate Portuguese population at roughly three out of four people.

Abstract:

Background: Limited health literacy is common among persons infected with HIV and has been linked to poor mental and physical health outcomes, but there are no well-validated screening measures of health literacy in this vulnerable clinical population. The present study evaluates the usefulness of the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) as a brief measure of health literacy in HIV disease. Methods: Seventy-eight HIV+ adults were administered the NVS, Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM), and Single Item Literacy Screener (SILS). Main criterion variables included plasma HIV viral load, medication management capacity, self-efficacy for medication management, and perceived relationships with healthcare providers. Results: The NVS showed good internal consistency and moderate correlations with the REALM and SILS. Rates of limited health literacy were highest on the NVS (30.3%) as compared to SILS (6.6%) and REALM (9.2%). A series of regressions controlling for education showed that the NVS was incrementally predictive of viral load, medication management capacity and self-efficacy, and relationships with healthcare providers, above and beyond the REALM and SILS. Conclusion: The NVS shows evidence of reliability, convergent validity, and incremental criterion-related validity and thus may serve as useful screening tool for assessing health literacy in HIV disease.

Abstract:

Introduction: The study presents results of an innovative measurement of practical health literacy in international context. Aim: To show the level of practical health literacy in the Hungarian society and in international comparison. Method: We measured practical health literacy with Newest Vital Sign test on a Hungarian national representative sample, asked from 1008 persons, between May and June, 2015 from population 16 years or older, using methodological standards of Eurobarometer. The sample is representative to the above mentioned population by gender, age, region and settlement-size. Results: Based on Newest Vital Sign test, members of the Hungarian society have good practical health literacy. The accomplishment is inconsistent with self-reported health literacy, since it shows weak results. Conclusions: As low level of self-reported health literacy implies that respondents don’t have daily routine in practicing their skills, we could draw people’s attention to food-information, that are important and show, how to utilize them.

Abstract:

The “Newest Vital Sign” (NVS) is a validated health literacy assessment tool typically administered by clinicians. The objective of this study was to assess if the NVS could be self-administered in adolescents to measure health literacy. Sixth graders in a Colorado middle school were provided a self-administered survey containing the NVS, a section for parent permission, and a section for the student’s age, gender, grade, and previous elementary school. In all, 167 sixth graders returned usable surveys (45% return rate), and the average health literacy score was 3.75 ± 1.70. Almost two thirds (62.9%) of the students scored in the adequate health literacy range, while only 12.6% scored in the limited health literacy range. Health literacy scores were similar when evaluated based on gender. However, when students were grouped based on prior elementary school attendance, students who matriculated from one elementary school had an average NVS score significantly lower than two other elementary schools (p < .001 and p < .05). Self-administration of the NVS was successful and showed similar health literacy scores compared to other studies in adolescents. Using the NVS as a self-administered tool could greatly increase its function as a quick health literacy assessment for adolescents, both in clinical practice and in school-based health education.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectiveThe Newest Vital Sign© (NVS) was developed in the USA to measure patient health literacy in clinical settings. We adapted the NVS for use in Canada, in English and French, and created a computerized version. Our objective was to evaluate the reliability of the Canadian NVS as a self-administered computerized tool.DesignWe used a randomized crossover design with a washout period of 3–4 weeks to compare health literacy scores obtained using the computerized version with scores obtained using the standard interviewer-administered NVS. ANOVA models and McNemar’s tests assessed differences in outcomes assessed with each version of the NVS and order effects of the testing.SettingParticipants were recruited from multicultural catchment areas in Ontario and Nova Scotia.SubjectsEnglish- and French-speaking adults aged 18 years or older.ResultsA total of 180 (81 %) of the 222 adults (112 English/110 French) initially recruited completed both the interviewer-NVS and computer-NVS. Scores for those who completed both assessments ranged from 0 to 6 with a mean of 3·63 (sd 2·11) for the computerized NVS and 3·41 (sd 2·21) for the interview-administered NVS. Few (n 18; seven English, eleven French) participants’ health literacy assessments differed between the two versions.ConclusionsOverall, the computerized Canadian NVS performed as well as the interviewer-administered version for assessing health literacy levels of English- and French-speaking participants. This Canadian adaptation of the NVS provides Canadian researchers and public health practitioners with an easily administered health literacy assessment tool that can be used to address the needs of Canadians across health literacy levels and ultimately improve health outcomes.

Abstract:

Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: Az eredményes gyógyítás, rehabilitáció, egészségre nevelés és egészségfejlesztés elengedhetetlen feltétele, hogy az egyén az egészségműveltségének megfelelő módon jusson hozzá az egészségével kapcsolatos információkhoz. Célkitűzés: A kutatás célja két, az egészségműveltséget objektíven (Newest Vital Sign) és szubjektíven (Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool) mérő skála validálása volt. Ezen nemzetközi felmérésekben elterjedt és önmagukban is alkalmazható rövid tesztek segítségével vizsgálható az általános populáció egészségműveltsége. Módszer: A skálák tesztelése országos keresztmetszeti vizsgálat keretében zajlott a felnőtt lakosság körében. A kérdőívek megbízhatóságát és validitását az egyes kérdőíveken belüli Cronbach-α, Spearman–Brown és korrigált item-totál korrelációs együtthatók, valamint feltáró faktorelemzés (főkomponens-elemzés, varimax rotáció) segítségével értékeltük. Eredmények: A kérdőívek belső konzisztenciáját mérő Cronbach-α-érték a Newest Vital Sign kérdőív esetében 0,72, a Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool kérdőív esetében 0,87, míg a Spearman–Brown-féle korrigált korrelációval számított „split-half” megbízhatóság 0,76, illetve 0,88 volt. Az item-totál korrelációs vizsgálat során kapott korrelációs együtthatók minden esetben magasabbnak bizonyultak az elvárható 0,3-as értéknél. A faktorszerkezet feltárása rávilágított, hogy a két teszt az egészségműveltség más-más dimenzióit méri. Megbeszélés: Eredményeink alapján mindkét teszt megbízhatónak bizonyult; a Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool skála belső validitása magasabb, mint az eredeti kérdőívé. A faktorelemzés alapján a két kérdőív együttes alkalmazása is lehetséges, ha a cél a szubjektív és az objektív műveltség egyszerre történő vizsgálata. Következtetés: Eredményeink alapján javasoljuk a Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool és a Newest Vital Sign kérdőívek általunk validált változatának használatát kérdezőbiztosok által felvett, egészségműveltséget vizsgáló felmérések részeként. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(39): 1579–1588. Summary. Introduction: Accessing health information adapted to one’s health literacy level is a prerequisite for effective healing, rehabilitation, health education, and health promotion. Objective: This research aimed to validate the Hungarian version of two instruments measuring health literacy: the performance-based Newest Vital Sign and the self-reported Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool. These short instruments, which are frequently used in international surveys, can be applied to measure health literacy among the general population. Method: The two instruments were tested in a nationwide cross-sectional study in the general population. The questionnaires’ reliability and validity were evaluated using Cronbach-α, Spearman–Brown, corrected item-total correlation coefficients, and exploratory factor analysis (principal components analysis, varimax rotation). Results: The internal consistency measured by the Cronbach-α was 0.72 for the Newest Vital Sign and 0.87 for the Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool, and the split-half reliabilities calculated with the Spearman–Brown correlation were 0.76 and 0.88, respectively. The correlation coefficients obtained during the item-total correlation analysis proved to be higher than the expected 0.3 value in all cases. Exploring the factor structure revealed that the two tests measure different dimensions of health literacy. Discussion: Both tests proved to be reliable; the internal validity of the Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool is higher than that of the original questionnaire. Based on the factor analysis, their application is possible together if the goal is to examine subjective and objective health literacy together. Conclusion: Using the validated Hungarian version of these questionnaires is recommended as part of health literacy surveys conducted by interviewers. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(39): 1579–1588.

Abstract:

Self-management of health requires skills to obtain, process, understand, and use health-related information. Assessment of adolescents’ functional health literacy requires valid, reliable, and low-burden tools. The main objective of this study was to adapt and study the psychometric properties of the Newest Vital Sign for the Portuguese adolescents’ population (NVS-PTeen). Classic psychometric indicators of reliability and validity were combined with item response theory (IRT) analyses in a cross-sectional survey, complemented with a 3-month test-retest assessment. The NVS-PTeen was self-administered to students enrolled in grades 8 to 12 (12 to 17 years old) in a school setting. Overall, 386 students (191 girls) from 16 classes of the same school participated in the study (mean age = 14.5; SD = 1.5). Internal reliability of the NVS-PTeen was α = 0.60. The NVS-PTeen total score was positively and significantly correlated with Portuguese (r = 0.28) and mathematics scores (r = 0.31), school years (r = 0.31), and age (r = 0.19). Similar to the original scale (for the U.S.), the NVS-PTeen is composed of two dimensions, reading-related literacy and numeracy. Temporal reliability is adequate, though with a learning effect. IRT analyses revealed differences in difficulty and discriminative capacity among items, all with adequate outfit and infit values. Results showed that the NVS-PTeen is valid and reliable, sensible to inter-individual educational differences, and adequate for regular screening of functional health literacy in adolescents.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to discuss the use of the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) health literacy instrument in adolescents with sickle cell disease. The NVS evaluates both literacy and numeracy (the ability to understand and work with numbers) as well as the ability to locate and apply information. It is important to validate the NVS for use in adolescents, as the only currently validated instrument, the Rapid Estimate of Adolescent Literacy in Medicine–Teen (REALM-Teen), does not measure numeracy or the ability to locate or apply information. This cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory correlational study included appraisal of data from completion of the REALM-Teen and NVS instruments by a convenience sample of 75 adolescents with sickle cell disease. The mean age of this study sample was 14.7 years ( SD = 2.2). The mean grade level of participants was 8.7 ( SD = 2.2). Internal consistency for the NVS in this population was acceptable (α = .63). Criterion validity was based on correlations between raw scores on the NVS and raw scores on the REALM-Teen. There was a significant moderate, positive correlation between NVS and REALM-Teen scores ( r = .38, p < .01), demonstrating good criterion validity. Preliminary evidence for reliability and validity of the NVS in this population was established.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article presents the results of a study developed within the scope of the Project Health Literacy: a challenge in and for the elderly, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. It tried to evaluate the metric qualities of the Newest Vital Sign Test (NVS, Copyright © Pfizer Inc.) applied to elderly; evaluate the degree of health literacy of a sample of elderly Portuguese people; get to know the association between the degree of health literacy and some sociodemographic features, the general health state, and quality of life. It was conducted a quantitative study with 433 adults over 65 years of age, mostly female, and with heterogeneous levels of education. The instrument used was a battery of tests in order to assess the degree of health literacy (Newest Vital Sign), and the quality of life (WHOQOL). The NVS proved to be a reliable and sensitive to changes due to various demographic characteristics instrument. The results indicate that the majority of the participants (80%) showed a level of low health literacy, meaning that only 20% of respondents will be able to interpret and use effectively information related with health. Gender, educational attainment, age and marital status, as well as the perception of the elderly on their general health state and quality of life, proved to be variables that affect significantly the level of health literacy of participants. These results point to the urgent need to enhance health literacy in the elderly population, in general, and among the most vulnerable groups, in particular.

Abstract:

AbstractBackground:CHD is the most common birth defect type, with one-fourth of patients requiring intervention in the first year of life. Caregiver understanding of CHD may vary. Health literacy may be one factor contributing to this variability.Methods:The study occurred at a large, free-standing children’s hospital. Recruitment occurred at a free-of-charge CHD camp and during outpatient cardiology follow-up visits. The study team revised the CHD Guided Questions Tool from an eighth- to a sixth-grade reading level. Caregivers of children with CHD completed the “Newest Vital Sign” health literacy screen and demographic surveys. Health literacy was categorised as “high” (Newest Vital Sign score 4–6) or “low” (score 0–3). Caregivers were randomised to read either the original or revised Guided Questions Tool and completed a validated survey measuring understandability and actionability of the Guided Questions Tool. Understandability and actionability data analysis used two-sample t-testing, and within demographic group differences in these parameters were assessed via one-way analysis of variance.Results:Eighty-two caregivers participated who were largely well educated with a high income. The majority (79.3%) of participants scored “high” for health literacy. No differences in understanding (p = 0.43) or actionability (p = 0.11) of the original and revised Guided Questions Tool were noted. There were no socio-economic-based differences in understandability or actionability (p > 0.05). There was a trend towards improved understanding of the revised tool (p = 0.06).Conclusions:This study demonstrated that readability of the Guided Questions Tool could be improved. Future work is needed to expand the study population and further understand health literacy’s impact on the CHD community.

Abstract:

Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used and have a potential for over-the-counter misuse. Limited health literacy is associated with poor health outcomes. Identification of new strategies to assess literacy and numeracy could be useful in targeting effective education initiatives. Objective: To characterize numeracy and literacy skills related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug labels in primary care patients. Methods: Patients were recruited and consented over an 8-month period after their regular primary care visit. Demographic information was collected and two instruments were administered to assess literacy and numeracy skills: (1) a medication label literacy instrument focused on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (MedLit-NSAID) and (2) a general healthy literacy-screening tool, the Newest Vital Sign. Two questions on the MedLit-NSAID instrument evaluated understanding of the Food and Drug Administration medication guide for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter label. Results: A total of 145 patients were enrolled. Mean MedLit-NSAID and Newest Vital Sign scores were 6.8 (scale range 0–8) and 4.2 (scale range 0–6), respectively. Higher education level was associated with higher scores for both tools (p ⩽ 0.05). Total MedLit-NSAID scores on average were higher in females compared with males (6.5 vs 6, p = 0.05). Patients with decreased kidney function (n = 18) had significantly lower MedLit-NSAID scores (p ⩽ 0.05). Test–retest scores were not significantly different for MedLit-NSAID (p = 0.32). The correlation between the tools was 0.54 and internal consistency MedLit-NSAID was 0.61. Conclusion: A medication information focused instrument provided specific information to assess health literacy related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug labels. This information could be utilized to develop patient education initiatives for medication label comprehension.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo assess the level of functional health literacy (HL) and its antecedents and consequences in an adult population-based sample, using the Italian version of Newest Vital Sign (NVS-IT).DesignCross-sectional study.SettingGeneral population.Participants984 people were randomly selected from the resident registers of 11 general practitioners; a total of 452 (46.2%) of the selected people completed the study. Inclusion criteria were the following: 18–69 years of age and Italian speaking. Exclusion criteria included cognitive impairment, severe psychiatric diseases and end-stage diseases.Outcome measuresHL levels as assessed by the NVS-IT and the following potential HL predictors and consequences were assessed using logistic regression models: sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index, presence of long-term illnesses, self-reported health status, health services use in the last 12 months.ResultsHigh likelihood of limited HL, possibility of limited HL and adequate HL were found in 11.5%, 24.6% and 63.9% of the sample, respectively. The results of the multivariate logistic model for the antecedents showed that the risk of having high likelihood or possibility of limited HL levels increases with age (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.09), lower educational level (OR 4.03; 95% CI 3.41 to 7.49) and with worse financial situation (OR 1.64; 95% CI 1.17 to 2.63). As far as health outcomes are concerned, HL resulted to be positively associated with self-reported health status (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.75 to 2.75).ConclusionsFindings show a good level of functional HL in the population. However, older, less educated and poorer population groups showed to have a higher likelihood of suffering from limited or inadequate HL. Efforts should be made to design and implement public health policies and interventions tailored to different HL levels.Trial registration numberCEAVC:10113.

Abstract:

Health literacy has been shown to affect outcomes in a number of medical conditions. Despite the complexity of care that is often required among otolaryngology patients, the literature on health literacy in this field is sparse. Otolaryngologists need to be aware of issues related to health literacy due to the changing health care environment. The increased complexity of medical care, the greater involvement of patients in shared decision making, and the higher administrative burden on patients have increased their health literacy requirements. Assessing health literacy in clinical practice may help identify patients who might require additional help in navigating the health care system. The Brief Health Literacy Screen and the Newest Vital Sign are 2 measures that are easy to apply in clinical practice.
