Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Patient Communication
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Federal law mandates language-concordant care for limited English proficiency (LEP) patients.
  • LEP patients often receive suboptimal hospital discharge instructions compared to English-speaking counterparts.
  • Improving discharge communication is crucial for LEP patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review interventions aimed at enhancing discharge instructions for LEP individuals.
  • To identify common intervention strategies and their effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review of academic and gray literature from the U.S. was performed.
  • Searches included PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL, adhering to PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • 19 studies were included from an initial 3330 identified records.

Main Results:

  • Interventions encompassed written materials, education, combined approaches, and audio-visual methods.
  • Significant heterogeneity existed in intervention types, outcome measures, and reported results.
  • Patient satisfaction improved in most studies that measured it; other outcomes showed mixed or negative results.

Conclusions:

  • Current interventions show limited success beyond patient satisfaction for LEP discharge instructions.
  • More rigorous research methodologies are essential.
  • Community engagement is vital for developing effective future interventions for LEP patients.
