Abstract

Health literacy is a central resource for health-related decisions. Since the 1970s, however, the understanding of this term has changed in several ways. Initially, health literacy was considered only from the point of view of individual competencies, but in recent decades it has evolved into a more contextual understanding. Despite this conceptual evolution, current social and health challenges are still not adequately addressed.This article reflects on the developments in the understanding of the concept and on the relevance of health literacy in the face of the current polycrisis. Reference is made to a recent concept paper developed by the authors, which shows that health literacy is a central resource at the interface of healthcare, disease prevention, and health promotion and that it can occur at different levels and in different forms. The discussion on health literacy also highlights the need to consider the challenges of systems, organizations, and settings, as decisions about health and well-being are made in all these contexts.The importance of health literacy as a key resource is increasing, particularly in addressing current social challenges, and is gaining additional relevance as a social determinant of health. Health literacy interventions can only be effectively developed, implemented, and evaluated if a shared understanding of health literacy exists, current challenges and contexts are considered, and key stakeholders act together when implementing measures.

[转型中的卫生素养概念]。
卫生知识普及是卫生相关决策的核心资源。然而,自20世纪70年代以来,对这个术语的理解在几个方面发生了变化。最初,卫生素养仅从个人能力的角度考虑,但近几十年来,它已演变成一种更具体的理解。尽管概念上有了这种演变,但目前的社会和卫生挑战仍然没有得到充分解决。这篇文章反映了对这一概念的理解的发展,以及面对当前多重危机时卫生素养的相关性。请参阅作者最近编写的一份概念文件,该文件表明,卫生素养是保健、疾病预防和健康促进的核心资源,它可以在不同层次以不同形式发生。关于卫生素养的讨论还强调需要考虑系统、组织和环境的挑战,因为有关健康和福祉的决定是在所有这些背景下做出的。卫生知识普及作为一项关键资源的重要性正在增加,特别是在应对当前的社会挑战方面,并且作为健康的社会决定因素正在获得更多的相关性。只有对卫生知识普及有共同的理解,考虑到当前的挑战和背景,并在实施措施时主要利益攸关方共同行动,才能有效地制定、实施和评估卫生知识普及干预措施。
