Health Literacy As a Mediator Between Gender, Illness Identity, and Self-Efficacy

Sponsor: Cairo University

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to understand the role of health literacy in shaping the relationship between gender differences, illness identity, and self-efficacy in geriatric patients with cardiac diseases. The main question it aims to answer is: Does health literacy mediate the relationship between gender, illness identity, and self-efficacy in elderly cardiac patients? Participants with diagnosed cardiac conditions, will complete online surveys assessing their health literacy, illness identity, and self-efficacy over a one-year period. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be used to analyze the relationships among these variables.
