Abstract
BACKGROUND: Increasing demands on health care systems require patients to
take on more active roles in their health. Effective self-management has
been linked to improved health outcomes, and evidence shows that effective
self-management is linked to health literacy (HL). HL is an important
predictor of successful self-management in other chronic diseases but has
had minimal testing in cancer.
METHODS: A scoping review was conducted to examine and summarize what is
known about the association between HL and self-management behaviors and
health service utilization in the cancer setting. The methodological
framework articulated by Arksey and O'Malley was used and was further
refined with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Inclusion criteria
included the following: peer review; publication in English; and adult
patients and caregivers of all races, ethnicities, and cultural groups. Use
of a validated instrument to measure HL was required.
RESULTS: The search yielded 2414 articles. After the removal of duplicates
and the performance of title scans and abstract reviews, the number was
reduced to 44. Of the 44 full-text articles reviewed, 17 met the inclusion
criteria. A number of important self-management behaviors and related
outcomes were found to be associated with HL. These included the uptake of
cancer screening, the receipt of prescribed chemotherapy, and a greater
risk of postoperative complications.
CONCLUSIONS: This literature review shows that HL is associated with
important self-management behaviors in cancer. The implications of these
associations for individuals with inadequate HL and for the health care
system are significant. More research is needed to explore these
associations.
