dc.description.abstract | The complexity of the current healthcare ecosystem justifies the convenience of
targeting patients’ companions in health communication strategies. Designing
successful interventions requires taking into account which keys should be pressed in
companions in order to generate positive outcomes in the accompanied patients. In
particular, this paper explores how companion health empowerment and companion
health literacy affect the well-being of chronically-ill elderly patients. Data for this
research come from a cross-sectional quantitative study including 1,814 individuals
(907 chronically-ill elderly patients and their 907 companions). Data were collected
through two online questionnaires, one for patients and one for companions. The
findings suggest that companion health empowerment is defined by the dimensions
information search empowerment and knowledge development and decision
participation empowerment. Furthermore, the distinction between functional, interactive
and critical health literacy has revealed to be useful for comprehending companion
health literacy. A structural equation model shows that critical health literacy sets the
threshold above which companion health literacy improves accompanied patient wellbeing,
even more so when it is backed up by companion information search
empowerment and by companion knowledge development and decision participation
empowerment. | spa |
