The Health Literacy for Healthier Mind Study
Sponsor: Molde University College
Summary
Health literacy is critical for patient safety, quality of care, and long-term health outcomes, yet health professionals often lack the support, time, and tools to deliver health literacy-sensitive care (health literacy sensitivity is the knowledge, skills, and attitudes health professionals require to effectively meet patients' health literacy needs). Building on a successful feasibility study showing that a targeted intervention can enhance health literacy sensitivity and teamwork without harming mental or occupational well-being. The Health Literacy for Healthier Minds study will build on these positive results and test a scalable, multi-component intervention in four Norwegian hospitals. The study aims to strengthen health professionals' health literacy sensitivity, safeguard their mental and occupational well-being, and explore patients' experiences with health literacy-sensitive care.
