Chapter 3 Flashcards
the study and use of communication strategies to inform and influence individual and community decisions that affect health . It links the fields of communication and health and is increasingly recognized as a necessary element of efforts to improve personal and public health.
health communication
what three interaction factors is effective health communication based on?

- the message
- the reciever
what influences the interaction between the information and the receiver regardless of whether it is from print media, broadcast media, websites, schools, community programs, family and friends, or healthcare professionals.
the source
T/F The content of the message for effective health communication should be delivered in plain language instead of professional jargon.
true
what is the last factor to be considered in effective health communication?
the receiver of the message
who recognized the patient center approach was essential to provision of quality health care?
Institute of Medicine
focuses on the health care provider as the expert and the interaction with patients revolves around the disease. The patient is expected to comply with the recommendations made by provider.
traditional health care model , the biomedical model
the patients role is transformed from a passive observer to an active participant in the decision making process. The goal of this interaction is to build a relationship on trust and respect where treatment and self management procedures are negotiated between the two collaborative parties
patient - centered health care
In patient centered health care, the the clinicians role moves from one of being an expert and making decisions for the patient to that of being a ________ and helping the patient make informed decisions.
facilitator
a health care professional who employs a patient centered approach values the patients ______ and_______.
right to autonomy and self determination

HIPAA governs the disclosure of PHI. What is PHI?
privacy and portability of Protected Health Information (PHI)
Th process of care includes what 4 phases?
- Assessment
- planning
- implementation
- evaluation
when is health communication established? This is when the patients chief complain is explored by the provider. Data are gathered on the patients health status after reviewing history, interviewing the patient, and examination of the body.
Assessment phase
What are the two assessment topics that are to be addressed during the assessment phase of care?
- Patients understanding of the disease or condition
2. Self management procedures
What is the question assessing?
-What do you like or not like about brushing your teeth?
Self management procedures
-assessment phase
What is the question assessing?
What type of treatment have you had for cavities?
Patients understanding of the disease or condition
-assessment phase
the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand basic health info and services needed to make appropriate health decisions and is critical to achieving the objectives set forth in Healthy People 2020 and more broadly, key to success of our national health agenda
Health literacy
application of number and measurements into daily tasks such as medication dosing
numeracy
T/F The lack of sufficient health literacy is a risk factor for positive health outcomes and presents significant barriers to health based on the shame associated with lack of skills.
true
T/F A recent systemic review confided an association between low health literacy and inferior use of the health care system (accessing emergency room care instead of preventative care)
true
LIkert scale -
0 =
4 -
0 = always 4 = never
What was the best question to ask for determination of health literacy, with no added benefit as a result of asking the other two questions?
- How often do you find it challenging to fill out health forms by yourself?
- chew & assocaites
a patient gets a 1 = “often” , what does this mean
having marginal health literacy
a patient get a 0 = “always” what does this mean
inadequate health literacy
what does the response “sometimes” = 2 mean?
some researchers found that at this point is where you define a patient has inadequate health literacy
How did Saker and associates findings differ from that of Chew et al?
Both found that question 1 (how often do you find it challenging to fill out health forms by yourself) as the most effective question in determining health literacy, BUT ALL 3 WERE BENEFICIAL
- How often do you have problems learning about your health condition because of difficulty understanding written information.
- How often do you have someone (such as a family member, friend, caregiver or health care worker) help you read health materials?
Which of the following is a response that indicates inadequate or marginal health literacy to the question “How do you rate your reading ability?”?
Responses:
excellent, very good, good, okay, poor, very poor, or terrible.
okay, poor, very poor, and terrible ALL indicate inadequate or marginal health literacy
takes 3 minutes, reading and numeracy skills are evaluated by responses to 6 questions based on reading an ice cream food label
Newest Vital Sign instument
Newest vital sign instrument- what indicates a patient exhibits adequate level of health literacy
answer at least 4 questions correctly
Newest vital sign instrument - what indicates the possibility of a patient with limited health literacy
answer at least 2-3 questions correctly
Newest vital sign instrument - what is a strong indication of a marginal or inadequate health literacy level
answering one or none of the questions correctly
REALM-SF =
Rapid Estimate of Health Literacy in Medicine - Short Form
an assessment of reading ability that requires the patient to read seven words aloud, when patients do not know the word they reply “blank”
REALM-SF
- they are to only read the words they KNOW!
REALM-SF - what indicates a high school reading level?
7 correct
REALM-SF - what indicates a 7th - 8th grade reading level?
4-6 correct
REALM-SF - what indicates a 4th - 6th grade reading level?
1 - 3 correct
REALM-SF - what indicate a 3rd grade level?
zero correct
at the _____ level patents will experience difficulty reading most written patient education materials
7th to 8th grade reading level
at the _____ level might have problems reading prescription labels and required patient education materials designed for low literacy readers.
4th to 6th grade reading level
based on the 66 REALM-Long Form words, however the number of health words is reduced to 50. flash cards with spanish medical term printed on one side and two associated words on the back. The side with the term is shown to the patient, who is asked to correctly pronounce the word. Next the two associated words are spoken by the clinician, and the patient selects the one closest to the meaning.
The Short Assessment of Health Literacy for Spanish Adults (SAHLSA-50)
how is the patient scored using the SAHLSA-50
one point is received when the patient reads the correct word and pronounces it correctly and identifies the related word
a score of _____ using the SAHLSA-50 suggests adequate health literacy; ____ and less can indicate low health literacy
38-50; 37 & less
It is estimated that at almost ____ of the US population experiences at least one chronic disease
50%
____ was developed to influence individuals to take action to engage in healthy behaviors. The overall premise of this model is that people who perceive or believe that they are vulnerable to a disease and that their health is threatened will take action to prevent the threat and eliminate their vulnerability.
Health belief model
what year was the health belief model developed
1950’s
what are the 4 reasons that make patients take action toward healthy behaviors:
- they think they are susceptible to a health problem (perceived susceptibility)
- its serious (perceived severity)
- Believe that taking action by engaging in prevention or treatment will reduce the threat of the health problem (perceived benefits)
- Believe the benefits of taking action outweigh the barriers (perceived barriers)
What two models are helpful in understanding the stages of change in a patient changing to healthy behaviors? AND what do they promote?
- transtheoretical model
- the precaution adoption process model
* They both PROMOTE the idea of chance as a PROCESS, not a SINGLE EVENT, depending on the patients readiness to change
patient is not willing or ready to change behavior within the next 6 months is what stage of the transtheoretical model?
precontemplation
patient is considering action to change behavior in the next 6 months is what stage of the transtheoretical model?
contemplation
patient is preparing for the change within the next month, and is partially engaged in changing the behavior is what stage of the transtheoretical model?
preparation
patient is actively engaged in changing the behavior in less than 6 months is what stage of the transtheoretical model?
action
patient has sustained the behavior change for more than 6 months is what stage of the transtheoretical model?
maintenance
the precaution adoption process model differs from the transtheoretical model.
What is the first stage?
first stage is when the patient is unaware of a health issue
what is the second stage of the precaution adoption process model?
when he or she gains awareness but is NOT engaged to change
What is the 3rd stage of the precaution adoption process model?
characterized by the patient realizing that he or she has a decision to make as to whether to take action
stages _____ result when the patient has made a decision as to whether or not to take action int he precaution adoption process.
