| Abstract | Uvod: Sladkorna bolezen zahteva od pacienta učinkovito samooskrbo, h kateri pripomore tudi zdravstvena pismenost. V skladu s tem je bil cilj raziskave na vzorcu pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo ugotoviti, kakšna je stopnja splošne in specifične zdravstvene pismenosti. Metode: Izvedena je bila študija primera, v katero je bilo vključenih 36 pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo. Instrumenta za zbiranje podatkov sta bila vprašalnik za oceno splošne zdravstvene pismenosti ter vprašalnik za oceno specifične zdravstvene pismenosti. Zbrani podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo deskriptivne statistike (frekvence, aritmetične sredine, standardne deviacije). Za vprašalnik splošne zdravstvene pismenosti smo izračunali zanesljivost (Cronbach alpha = 0,94) in analizirali dimenzionalno strukturo (faktorska analiza). Rezultati: Na področju splošne zdravstvene pismenosti so udeleženci dosegli najnižji rezultat pri preprečevanju bolezni (x = 2,89, s = 0,85), najvišji pa pri promociji zdravja (x = 3,13, s = 0,79). Osebe, ki so sodelovale v raziskavi, izkazujejo visoko specifično zdravstveno pismenost, saj so bili njihovi odgovori na večino vprašanj vprašalnika o specifični zdravstveni pismenosti pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo v povprečju 82 % pravilni. Diskusija in zaključek: Rezultati raziskave potrjujejo ustrezno stopnjo specifične zdravstvene pismenosti na področju sladkorne bolezni pri skupini pacientov, zajetih v raziskavo. Nekoliko slabša je njihova splošna zdravstvena pismenost na področju preprečevanja bolezni in zagotavljanja zdravega življenjskega sloga.Introduction: Diabetes requires effective self-care from patients and in this respect, health literacy is a great contributor to effective disease self-management. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to determine the level of general and specific health literacy on a sample of patients with diabetes. Methods: A case study involving 36 patients with diabetes was conducted. The data collection instrument included two questionnaires for evaluating general and specific health literacy. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics (frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation). The reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0,94) and the dimensional structure (factor analysis) were analysed for the general health literacy questionnaire. Results: With regard to general health literacy, the participants achieved the lowest result in the area of disease prevention (x = 2.89, s = 0.85), and the highest in the area of health promotion (x = 3.13, s = 0.79). Patients who participated in the study demonstrated high specific health literacy as their answers to most questions regarding specific health literacy were 82 % accurate, on average. Discussion and conclusion: The results of the survey have confirmed the appropriate level of specific diabetes health literacy in a small group of patients included in the study. Their general health literacy is somewhat lower in the area of disease prevention and healthy lifestyle. | |
