Abstract

The study was carried out to identify the relationship of patients' self-rating and nurses' rating on health literacy of hospitalized patients. Data were collected using the Korean Functional Health Literacy Test (KFHLT) which was revised for hospitalized patients and Single Item Literacy Screener. A total of 178 subjects, which consisted of 89 hospitalized patients and 89 nurses taking care of them, were recruited from medical and surgical wards of E university hospital. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 program. The results showed that the average health literacy score of the subjects was $11.45{\pm}4.22$ out of 17 and the average correct answer rate was 67.3%. Patient health literacy was significantly different by age, education, occupation and reading handouts. The patients' self-rating had significant correlation with health literacy measured by KFHLT while nurses' rating did not. There was no significant correlation between patients' self-rating and nurses' rating. The findings suggest that patients' self-rating might be available to assess patient health literacy in hospitals and a careful approach is required when nurses use a single-item rating.

본 연구의 목적은 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력과 환자 자가평가, 간호사 평가 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위한 것이다. 자료수집은 D시에 소재한 E대학병원 내과 및 외과병동에 입원한 성인 환자와 담당 간호사 각 89명, 총 178명을 대상으로 하였으며, 환자의 의료정보이해능력 측정은 입원환자용으로 수정된 의료정보이해능력 도구와 Single Item Literacy Screener를 이용하였다. 수집한 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력은 17점 만점에 평균 $11.45{\pm}4.22$점이었으며 정답률은 67.3%이었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 나이, 학력, 직업, 유인물 읽기 여부에 따라 차이가 있었다. 환자의 의료정보이해능력은 환자 자가평가와 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었으나 간호사 평가와는 유의한 관계가 없었다. 그리고 환자 자가평가와 간호사 평가 사이에도 유의한 관계가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 입원환자의 의료정보이해능력을 사정함에 있어 환자 평가는 임상현장에서 활용 가능성이 있지만 간호사에 의한 단일문항 평가는 주의가 필요함을 시사한다.
