dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among health literacy, self-efficacy, self-management and clinical outcomes, and if health literacy and self efficacy differed by ethnicity in the hemodialysis population. A cross-sectional, correlation, between-subjects design was used. The Health Literacy Questionnaire, Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, and Patient Activation Measure-13 measured health literacy, self efficacy, and self management respectively. Clinical measures included three month averages of interdialytic weight gain, serum potassium, and serum phosphate. Forty-four participants from white English speaking backgrounds and 34 participants from visible minorities, with different levels in English speaking proficiency, participated. Analysis indicates an association between health literacy and self efficacy; health literacy and self efficacy are associated with self management; and certain dimensions of health literacy differ between the two groups. The results suggest that health literacy could play a role in improving self-efficacy and self-management behaviors.en_US
