Abstract

Abstract Objective: This study aims to identify predictive factors of COVID-19-related health literacy (HL) among older adults living in rural areas. Method: This study used a cross-sectional design. A total of 106 respondents participated in this study. HL was measured by using a questionnaire modified from the HLS-COVID-Q22, in addition, the scales ‘Health Information Seeking’, ‘Family’s Social Support Scale’, ‘Health Service Utilization’; and information on some socio-demographic variables was also obtained. A multiple linear regression model was used to identify the predictors of HL. Results: About two-thirds of the respondents had a moderate level of HL (63.2%). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, family support, information source, and gender were significant predictors for HL (p<0.01). Conclusion: HL literacy was better among males, highly educated older people, media users, and those with adequate family support. This study provided insight for nurses and healthcare professionals to pay greater attention to vulnerable groups of older people (ie. female gender and those with less formal education) as well as involve family members in education or health promotion activities and use easily accessed media, such as television and radio.

印度尼西亚农村地区老年人 COVID-19 相关健康素养的预测因素

摘要目的：本研究旨在确定生活在农村地区的老年人与 COVID-19 相关的健康素养（HL）的预测因素。研究方法本研究采用横断面设计。共有 106 名受访者参与了本研究。健康素养的测量使用了根据 HLS-COVID-Q22 修订的问卷，此外还使用了 "健康信息寻求"、"家庭社会支持量表 "和 "健康服务利用 "量表，以及一些社会人口变量的信息。研究采用多元线性回归模型来确定 HL 的预测因素。研究结果约三分之二的受访者（63.2%）的健康状况处于中等水平。多元线性回归分析表明，教育水平、家庭支持、信息来源和性别是预测 HL 的重要因素（p<0.01）。结论男性、受过高等教育的老年人、媒体使用者和有足够家庭支持的人的 HL 知识水平更高。这项研究为护士和医护人员提供了启示，他们应更多地关注老年人中的弱势群体（即女性和正规教育程度较低者），让家庭成员参与教育或健康促进活动，并使用电视和广播等易于获取的媒体。

期刊介绍： The mission of the journal of Nursing and Education is to present scientific and technical information about health, illnesses and related topics. The journal serves as the conduit [medium] through which the experiences of our own nursing and social science departments can be shared within Columbia and internationally. It is written primarily for nurses, general health practitioners and other related disciplines but can also be used by students and researchers.
