To explore the potential categories of health literacy of the elderly with chronic disease comorbid disability and their relationship with family nursing quality.
713 comorbid disabled elderly in Urumqi, Xinjiang were investigated by general data, function of daily living index, health literacy scale for chronic disease patients and Family Care Quality Scale for disabled elderly (FCCI). Mplus 8.3 was used to make potential profile analysis of their health literacy, and SPSS 26.0 software was applied. To compare the quality of family care for the elderly with comorbidity and disability in different categories of health literacy.
The health literacy of the elderly with concomitant disabilities can be divided into three categories:high health literacy - high willingness (35.5%), medium health literacy - good acceptance (47.7%), and low health literacy - low access to information (16.8%). There were significant differences in the total score of family care quality and the scores of each dimension among the 3 different health literacy groups (P<0.001). The total score of family care quality in the group with high health literacy and high willingness was the highest (47.47±0.128), and the total score of family care quality in the group with low health literacy and low information access was the lowest (40.28±0.315). The scores of family care quality in the group with high health literacy and high willingness were higher than those in the other two groups, including scores of disabled elderly (28.03±0.053), caregiver (11.02±0.054) and family members (8.42±0.062). The scores of family care quality in the group with low health literacy and low access to information were lower than those in the other two groups, including scores of disabled elderly (24.78±0.176), caregiver (8.97±0.116) and family members (6.53±0.101).
There are three potential categories of health literacy for the elderly with comorbid disabilities, and the quality of family care for the elderly with comorbid disabilities is different in different potential categories. It is suggested that targeted personalized intervention programs should be developed based on the groups with the same health literacy of the elderly with comorbid disabilities, so as to improve the quality of their family care.
