Objective

To investigate the chain mediating effect of family health and self-efficacy in the relationship between health literacy and self-management behaviors in older adults with chronic comorbidities.

Methods

Based on data from the 2021 Psychology and Behavior Investigation of Chinese Residents, 310 patients aged ≥60 years with chronic comorbidities were selected for the study. They were investigated using the Health Literacy Scale (HLS-SF12), Chronic Disease Self-Management Behavior Scale, Family Health Scale (FHS-SF), and New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES). Partial correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between health literacy, family health, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors. The chain mediating effect was analyzed using Model 6 of the PROCESS 4.2 plugin in SPSS 27.0.

Results

Family health and self-efficacy played a chain mediating role in the relationship between health literacy and self-management behaviors. The direct effect of health literacy on self-management behaviors was significant (β=0.446, 95% CI: 0.239-0.653), accounting for 66.87% of the total effect. The separate mediating effect of family health was significant (β=0.071, 95% CI: 0.004-0.154), accounting for 10.64% of the total effect. The separate mediating effect of self-efficacy was significant (β=0.117, 95% CI: 0.043-0.206), accounting for 17.54% of the total effect. The chain mediating effect of family health and self-efficacy was also significant (β=0.034, 95% CI: 0.010-0.067), accounting for 5.10% of the total effect.

Conclusion

Health literacy not only directly influences self-management behaviors of elderly patients with chronic comorbidities, but also indirectly through family health and self-efficacy as separate or chain-mediated pathways. It is recommended to promote the self-management behaviors of elderly patients with chronic comorbidities in a multidimensional way by enhancing health literacy, improving the family health environment, and increasing self-efficacy.
