Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the mediating effect of patient communication self-efficacy on the relationship between their health literacy and self-rated health.
Methods: The design of this research is a cross-sectional study based on self-administered questionnaires. Sample for this study is 1,141 individuals aged 19 to 60 living throughout the country. Data were analyzed through mediation analysis using the Hayes SPSS Process macro.
Results: The results revealed that patient’s health literacy had a significant positive effect on their self-efficacy in communicating with the medical staff. This, in turn, had a significant positive effect on their self-rated health. Additionally, patient communication self-efficacy mediated the relationship between their health literacy and self-rated health.
Conclusion: The findings highlight the significance of improving patient communication self-efficacy and health literacy to increase positive health outcomes. Healthcare professionals should strive to improve patients’ communication skills and provide adequate health literacy education to improve health outcomes.
