M H Jagodage H, McGuire A, Seib C, Bonner A. Effectiveness of teach-back for chronic kidney disease patient education: A systematic review. J Ren Care 2024; 50:92-103. [PMID: 37010245 DOI: 10.1111/jorc.12462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Education is an essential component in optimising chronic disease self-management. Teach-back is a robust approach in patient education, which is suitable for varying health literacy although its effectiveness in chronic kidney disease patient education is unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of teach-back method in health education for improving self-management and adherence to treatment regimens in chronic kidney disease. DESIGN Systematic review. PARTICIPANTS Adults with any chronic kidney disease grade or treatment modality. MEASUREMENTS A comprehensive search was undertaken in MEDLINE, CINHAL, EMBASE, Cochrane library, PsychINFO, Web of Science, ERIC, JBI library and WHO International Clinical Trial Registry to identify published studies from September 2013 to December 2022. The methodological quality of studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. RESULTS Six studies involving 520 participants were retrieved for this review. A meta-analysis could not be conducted due to substantial heterogeneity between studies. Nevertheless, there was some evidence that teach-back could improve self-management, self-efficacy and knowledge. There was limited evidence on improvement in psychological outcomes or health-related quality of life. CONCLUSION Teach-back seems to improve both objective and patient-reported outcomes, although further studies are needed. Using teach-back can improve both understanding of health information and the development of skills. Kidney care teams could use teach-back for all patients as it takes account of varying patient health literacy abilities. Teach-back assists with communicating important health information to improve patients' knowledge, confidence and skills in self-managing this disease and its treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficient use of health care is crucial for health care systems; the literature reveals that health literacy (HL) plays an important role in health services utilization. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the relationship between HL and health care utilization in Austria. METHODS Registered data of 1,010 persons in the general population concerning costs of doctor visits, medication costs, and number, days, and costs of hospitalization were analyzed using a cross-sectional design for the observation period 2017 to 2019. HL was measured as general, digital, and navigational HL using the Austrian part of the European Health Literacy Survey between March 2020 and May 2020. Multivariable two-part hurdle regressions with generalized linear models, considering sociodemographic variables and chronic illnesses, were conducted to investigate the relationship between HL and health care utilization. KEY RESULTS Navigational HL had a significant negative effect on the odds of causing costs at general practitioners, not adjusting (b = -0.02) and adjusting (b = -0.01) for sociodemographic variables and chronic illnesses. The effect was small, and no significant effect on any other type of analyzed health care was found. CONCLUSIONS Further research on specific populations (e.g., persons with chronic diseases such as diabetes), rather than the general population, may reveal relevant effects of HL on health care utilization measured by registered data in Austria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a social determinant of health, health literacy has a vital role in the management of chronic disease management, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). SUMMARY To be able to manage their condition, patients with CKD need to be able to assess, comprehend, appraise, and utilize complex health-related information. Those patients are much more likely to understand and use health information appropriately, if it addresses their personal needs related to language, culture, educational background, and socioeconomic status. One aspect of health literacy, organizational health literacy (OHL), relates to the degree with which health organizations justifiably empower patients to locate, understand, and utilize health information and facilities to inform their decision-making and health behaviours. With increasing evidence-based about OHL as a way to improve healthcare, it is a new concept for kidney clinicians. KEY MESSAGES As producers of health-related information, the multidisciplinary kidney healthcare team have a responsibility to meet the needs of those in their care, as such, priority should be given to implementation of OHL initiatives. Through enhancing the clarity of information, OHL initiatives may provide a game plan for person-centred care for those with CKD.

Abstract
The classic paternalist medicine in nephrology has been modified to a shared decision-making model that clearly offers a benefit in patients with kidney disease. One of the cornerstones of shared treatment decision in patients with kidney failure is the understanding of kidney disease. As kidney disease is silent until advanced stages and is also an entity with a complex pathophysiology with little knowledge in the general population, its presence and understanding are difficult for most people. Health literacy (HL) plays a crucial role in the care of patients with kidney disease and the shared treatment decision. Limited HL has been associated with inefficient use of health services, non-compliance of medications, worse quality of life and increased mortality. In this review, we will address the importance of low HL in nephrology in terms of diagnosis, measurement, its effect on shared decision-making and how to increase it in people with kidney disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-management in chronic diseases is essential to slowing disease progression and preventing complications. However, empirical research on the associations of critical factors, such as health literacy, social support, and self-efficacy with self-management in the context of multiple chronic diseases is scarce. This study aimed to investigate these associations and provides insights for healthcare providers to develop effective educational strategies for people with multiple chronic diseases. METHODS Using a cross-sectional survey design, adults (n = 600) diagnosed with at least two chronic diseases were conveniently recruited. To measure health literacy, social support, self-efficacy, and chronic disease self-management behaviours, the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ), Medical Outcome Study - Social Support Survey, Self-efficacy in Managing Chronic Disease, and Self-management in Chronic Diseases instruments were utilized respectively. Comorbidity status was assessed using Age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI). A generalised linear regression model was used with a backward technique to identify variables associated with self-management. RESULTS Participants' mean age was 61 years (SD = 15.3), 46% were female, and most had up to 12 years of education (82.3%). Mean scores for HLQ domains 1-5 varied from 2.61 to 3.24 (possible score 1-4); domains 6-9 from 3.29 to 3.65 (possible score 1-5). The mean scores were 52.7 (SD = 10.4, possible score 0-95), 5.46 (SD = 1.9, possible score 0-10) and 82.1 (SD = 12.4, possible score 30-120) for social support, self-efficacy, and self-management, respectively. Mean ACCI was 6.7 (SD = 2.1). Eight factors (age > 65 years, being female, 4 health literacy domains, greater social support, and higher self-efficacy levels) were significantly associated with greater self-management behaviours while comorbidity status was not. The factors that showed the strongest associations with self-management were critical health literacy domains: appraisal of health information, social support for health, and healthcare provider support. CONCLUSIONS Developing critical health literacy abilities is a more effective way to enhance self-management behaviours than relying solely on self-confidence or social support, especially for people with multiple chronic diseases. By facilitating communication and patient education, healthcare providers can help patients improve their critical health literacy, which in turn can enhance their self-management behaviours.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of health literacy (HL) on the relationship between healthcare providers' support and outcomes in patients on hemodialysis. METHODS A convenience sample of 149 hemodialysis patients participated in a cross-sectional survey. Mediation analysis with the percentile bootstrap method was used to identify the mediating effect of HL on the relationship between healthcare providers' support and patient outcomes. RESULTS Healthcare providers' support and HL were significant predictors of patient outcomes. HL mediated the relationship between healthcare providers' support and patient outcomes. CONCLUSION The HL of hemodialysis patients is essential in the relationship between healthcare providers' support and patient outcomes. Patient educators should implement a multifaceted HL-tailored intervention strategy to improve the HL of hemodialysis patients. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Hemodialysis patients' HL is a crucial mediating factor in the relationship between healthcare providers' support and patient outcomes. A multifaceted HL-tailored intervention strategy is needed to improve HL and, thus, health outcomes among hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health Literacy is a crucial factor for health. In Europe, many people have limited health literacy (i.e. difficulties with accessing, understanding, appraising and using health information). This study aimed to evaluate the psychometrics of the Swedish versions of the HLS-EU-Q16 and HLS-EU-Q6, instruments that aims to assess health literacy. METHODS In this prospective psychometric study convenience sampling was used, which gave a study population of 347 Swedish-speaking adults. The psychometric evaluation included item distributional statistics, construct validity testing, and principal component analysis to assess structural validity. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability was also investigated. RESULTS For the Swedish version of HLS-EU-Q16, no floor effects were detected but a ceiling effect was noted among 28% of the respondents. Construct validity was supported as four out of five expected correlations was confirmed (educational level, self-perceived health, electronic health literacy and HLS-EU-Q6). In terms of structural validity, the principal component analysis yielded a four-factor structure with most items loading significantly only to one factor. The Swedish version of HLS-EU-Q16 had acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.89, split-half reliability = 0.93) and test-retest reliability showed stability over time (Cohen's κ = 0.822). For the Swedish version of HLS-EU-Q6, neither floor nor ceiling effects were observed. Construct validity was supported as HLS-EU-Q6 correlated as our a priori stated hypothesis. The principal component analysis did not support the unidimensionality of the scale as a two-factor structure was identified. The Swedish version of HLS-EU-Q6 had acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.77, split-half reliability = 0.80) and test-retest reliability showed stability over time (Cohen's κ = 0.812). According to the Swedish version of the HLS-EU-Q16, 71% of the participants were classified as having sufficient comprehensive health knowledge (CHL), while only 33% were classified as having this when the HLS-EU-Q6 was used. CONCLUSIONS The Swedish versions of the HLS-EU-Q16 and HLS-EU-Q6 have acceptable psychometric properties, and based on the results we recommend its use to measure CHL. However, we are hesitant to use Sw-HLS-EU-Q6 in estimating different CHL levels and further studies need to be conducted to establish validity and accuracy of the thresholds of HLS-EU-Q6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People affected by kidney failure receiving haemodialysis experience complexity within their health condition unlike any other chronic illness or condition. Kidney failure impacts the individual in all areas of their life including relationships and activities of daily living. OBJECTIVE To conduct a meta-aggregation of studies about the lived experiences of people with kidney failure receiving haemodialysis. DESIGN Using PRISMA Guidelines, six databases (CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus) were comprehensively searched using keywords and subject headings from January 1990 to October 2021. Articles were assessed according to prespecified eligibility criteria. Data extraction and quality appraisal was conducted. A meta-aggregation of qualitative findings was conducted using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for meta-aggregation. RESULTS Of the 9409 articles screened, 55 studies were included. This represented a total of 188 findings across 45 categories representing a range of unmet supportive care needs. The meta-aggregation identified 11 synthesised findings broadly related to psychological/emotional needs, physical needs, social needs, interpersonal/intimacy needs, patient-clinician communication needs, family related needs, health system/information needs, spiritual needs, daily living needs, practical needs and daily living needs. CONCLUSIONS This meta-aggregation has identified that people affected by kidney failure can experience a range of unmet supportive care needs. It was evident that living with kidney failure and receiving haemodialysis impacted a person's sense of self, introduced practical needs and other complex needs which were not being addressed in existing services. This review has highlighted important implications for clinical practice and future research directions.

Abstract
Resumo A elevada carga da doença renal, disparidades globais no cuidado renal e desfechos ruins da insuficiência renal impõem uma sobrecarga crescente aos indivíduos afetados e suas famílias, cuidadores e a própria comunidade geral. Educação em saúde é o grau em que indivíduos e organizações têm, ou que igualmente permitem que indivíduos tenham, capacidade de encontrar, compreender e utilizar informações e serviços para tomar decisões e ações conscientes relacionadas à saúde para si e outros. Mais do que enxergar educação em saúde como um problema dos pacientes, a melhoria dessa educação depende principalmente da comunicação e educação efetiva dos profissionais em parceria com aqueles que apresentam doença renal. Para formuladores de políticas renais, educação em saúde é pré-requisito para que organizações migrem para uma cultura que coloque a pessoa no centro dos cuidados. A crescente capacidade e acesso à tecnologia oferecem novas oportunidades para melhorar educação e conscientização sobre doença renal para todas as partes interessadas. Avanços nas telecomunicações, incluindo redes sociais, podem ajudar a melhorar a educação de pessoas e provedores. O Dia Mundial do Rim declara 2022 como o ano da "Saúde dos Rins para Todos" promovendo trabalho em equipe global no avanço de estratégias para preencher a lacuna na educação e conhecimento em saúde renal. Organizações renais devem trabalhar para mudar a narrativa da educação em saúde como um problema de pacientes, para sendo responsabilidade dos profissionais e formuladores de políticas. Ao engajar-se e apoiar formulação de políticas centradas na saúde renal, planejamento de saúde comunitária e abordagens de educação em saúde para todos, comunidades renais esforçam-se para prevenir doenças renais e permitir viver bem com elas.

Abstract
The high burden of kidney disease, global disparities in kidney care, and the poor outcomes of kidney failure place a growing burden on affected individuals and their families, caregivers, and the community at large. Health literacy is the degree to which individuals and organizations have, or equitably enable individuals to have, the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Rather than viewing health literacy as a patient deficit, improving health literacy lies primarily with health care providers communicating and educating effectively in codesigned partnership with those with kidney disease. For kidney policy makers, health literacy is a prerequisite for organizations to transition to a culture that places the person at the center of health care. The growing capability of and access to technology provides new opportunities to enhance education and awareness of kidney disease for all stakeholders. Advances in telecommunication, including social media platforms, can be leveraged to enhance persons’ and providers’ education. The World Kidney Day declares 2022 as the year of “Kidney Health for All” to promote global teamwork in advancing strategies in bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Kidney organizations should work toward shifting the patient-deficit health literacy narrative to that of being the responsibility of health care providers and health policy makers. By engaging in and supporting kidney health-centered policy making, community health planning, and health literacy approaches for all, the kidney communities strive to prevent kidney diseases and enable living well with kidney disease.

The high burden of kidney disease, global disparities in kidney care, and the poor outcomes of kidney failure place a growing burden on affected individuals and their families, caregivers, and the community at large. Health literacy is the degree to which individuals and organizations have, or equitably enable individuals to have, the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Rather than viewing health literacy as a patient deficit, improving health literacy lies primarily with health care providers communicating and educating effectively in codesigned partnership with those with kidney disease. For kidney policy makers, health literacy is a prerequisite for organizations to transition to a culture that places the person at the center of health care. The growing capability of and access to technology provides new opportunities to enhance education and awareness of kidney disease for all stakeholders. Advances in telecommunication, including social media platforms, can be leveraged to enhance persons’ and providers’ education. The World Kidney Day declares 2022 as the year of “Kidney Health for All” to promote global teamwork in advancing strategies in bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Kidney organizations should work toward shifting the patient-deficit health literacy narrative to that of being the responsibility of health care providers and health policy makers. By engaging in and supporting kidney health-centered policy making, community health planning, and health literacy approaches for all, the kidney communities strive to prevent kidney diseases and enable living well with kidney disease.

Kidney health for all: bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2022; 37:605-612.

Abstract
The high burden of kidney disease, global disparities in kidney care, and poor outcomes of kidney failure bring a concomitant growing burden to persons affected, their families, and carers, and the community at large. Health literacy is the degree to which persons and organizations have or equitably enable individuals to have the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. Rather than viewing health literacy as a patient deficit, improving health literacy largely rests with health care providers communicating and educating effectively in codesigned partnership with those with kidney disease. For kidney policy makers, health literacy provides the imperative to shift organizations to a culture that places the person at the center of health care. The growing capability of and access to technology provides new opportunities to enhance education and awareness of kidney disease for all stakeholders. Advances in telecommunication, including social media platforms, can be leveraged to enhance persons' and providers' education; The World Kidney Day declares 2022 as the year of "Kidney Health for All" to promote global teamwork in advancing strategies in bridging the gap in kidney health education and literacy. Kidney organizations should work toward shifting the patient-deficit health literacy narrative to that of being the responsibility of health care providers and health policy makers. By engaging in and supporting kidney health-centered policy making, community health planning, and health literacy approaches for all, the kidney communities strive to prevent kidney diseases and enable living well with kidney disease.
