Resumo: Health literacy plays a pivotal role in the management of chronic disease and access to health care. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare health literacy levels between adults with and without arterial hypertension. The research protocol included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Health Literacy Survey in Portugal. The sample of this cross-sectional survey consisted of 152 participants, 76 of whom had hypertension and 76 without chronic disease, age between 35 and 65 years. Individuals without chronic disease had higher levels of health literacy in the dimension of disease prevention and health promotion and participants with hypertension in the dimension of health care. Older individuals and less educated individuals were identified as vulnerable groups with problematic levels of health literacy. This study contributed to highlight the importance of adequate health literacy to increase knowledge and understanding about disease and its complications.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a avaliação e comparação dos níveis de literacia em saúde entre adultos com e sem Hipertensão Arterial. Foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e o Inquérito em Literacia em Saúde em Portugal. Neste estudo transversal participaram 152 indivíduos, sendo 76 hipertensos e 76 indivíduos sem patologia crónica, com idades entre 35 e 65 anos. Os indivíduos sem doença crónica apresentaram níveis de literacia em saúde mais elevados nas dimensões de prevenção de doença e promoção da saúde e os participantes com hipertensão na dimensão de cuidados de saúde. Verificou-se que os indivíduos mais velhos e com menor escolaridade surgem como grupos vulneráveis com níveis problemáticos de literacia em saúde. Este estudo contribuiu para realçar a importância de uma adequada literacia em saúde para aumentar o conhecimento e compreensão sobre a doença e as suas complicações.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2022-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_6https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_6Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e065006Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e0650061647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_65reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/10520https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/10520/9066Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Tânia Teixeira, Paula Saraiva Carvalho, Cláudia Mendes Silva, Jorge Gamahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, TâniaSaraiva Carvalho, PaulaMendes Silva, CláudiaGama, Jorge2023-05-31T13:59:54Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/10520Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:01.078534Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
