Summary

This study aims to identify health literacy strengths and needs among people living with type 2 diabetes and multi-disease and their family members.

Detailed description

Living with diabetes and multi-disease affects not only the individual but also the social network around the person, as self-management is dependent on the ability to change one's lifestyle and manage the consequences of disease. In other words, health literacy strengths and needs of the individual and family members are determinants of how people manage living with type 2 diabetes. Thus, we hypothesise that diabetes management is influenced by the patient's and family members' health literacy. Knowledge about their health literacy could further enhance a patient- and family-centred approach to diabetes treatment and care, improving self-management and promoting health.
