Abstract

neglected. This s tudy aimed to determine health literacy in veterans with spinal cord injury referred to Khatam Hospital, Iran. Materials and Methods: This s tudy was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional s tudy. All veterans with paraplegia following spinal cord injury, who were referred to Khatam Alanbia Hospital in 2018 were our s tatis tical research community. 200 veterans were selected and examined through the purposive sampling method based on inclusion criteria. Demographic characteris tics of veterans and Iranian adult health literacy ques tionnaires were used to collect data. Results: The overall health literacy score was inadequate in 38% of the veterans. The mean score of health literacy was 51.4 ± 8.8. The aspect of access to health literacy promotion resources received the highes t score and there was a significant relationship between health literacy, education, and occupation. Conclusion: The data revealed that the level of health literacy of veterans with spinal cord injury is not desirable. Improving health literacy in these patients reduces the complications and promotes self-care behaviors.
