Abstract:
For nurses to communicate effectively, they must understand how patients obtain, understand, and use health information to make health decisions, that is, their health literacy (HL) level. A gap in teaching HL communication skills exists in nursing curricula. This study explored nursing students' knowledge and beliefs about HL communication before and after an HL training. Analysis revealed a significant increase in knowledge after training (Mpre = 9.00, Mpost = 9.89), t(36) = 3.75, p < .001. Participants (84.6 percent) used teach-back technique with simulated patients and identified additional training as an aid to skill building.
