Abstract

Introduction: Health literacy is a major public health issue. It directly influences the health-related decisions that individuals make. Improved health literacy is also directly correlated with better health. On the basis of this correlation, health literacy has ostensibly taken on the function of improving and maintaining good health. However, there is no evidence that health literacy, and hence the decisions it generates, are aimed at improving health.

Purpose of the research: The aim of our study is to describe, using data collected via the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ), the framework underpinning the health literacy in those surveyed. This allows us to verify whether or not this framework is aligned with the objective of promoting or maintaining health.

Results: Health literacy is not governed by the objective of improving health.

Conclusions: Health literacy is not necessarily cultivated in a bid to improve personal health. Health-related decision-making (as a product of health literacy) is governed, at least in part, by other forces than that of the desire to improve health. We need to move beyond the model that reduces health literacy, and therefore health decision-making, to a purely rational and individual process aimed exclusively at promoting or maintaining personal health.

卫生知识普及：旨在改善健康吗？

导言健康素养是一个重大的公共卫生问题。它直接影响个人做出与健康有关的决定。健康素养的提高也与健康状况的改善直接相关。基于这种相关性，健康素养表面上具有改善和保持健康的功能。然而，并没有证据表明，健康素养及其所产生的决定是以改善健康为目的的：我们的研究目的是通过健康素养问卷（HLQ）收集的数据，描述受访者健康素养的基础框架。这样，我们就能验证这一框架是否与促进或保持健康的目标相一致：结果：健康素养不受改善健康目标的制约：健康素养的培养不一定是为了改善个人健康。与健康相关的决策（作为健康素养的产物）至少部分受制于改善健康的愿望之外的其他力量。我们需要超越将健康素养以及健康决策归结为一个纯粹理性和个人的过程的模式，这一过程的目的完全是为了促进或保持个人健康。
