Sponsored by University of Southern Denmark · Observational
This study aims to identify health literacy strengths and needs among people living with type 2 diabetes and multi-disease and their family members.
Living with diabetes and multi-disease affects not only the individual but also the social network around the person, as self-management is dependent on the ability to change one's lifestyle and manage the consequences of disease. In other words, health literacy strengths and needs of the individual and family members are determinants of how people manage living with type 2 diabetes. Thus, we hypothesise that diabetes management is influenced by the patient's and family members' health literacy. Knowledge about their health literacy could further enhance a patient- and family-centred approach to diabetes treatment and care, improving self-management and promoting health.

Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ)
The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) is a 44-item validated questionnaire on health literacy. It consists of two parts, one part with 23 questions answered with a 4-point Likert Scale (strongly disagree = 1, disagree = 2, agree = 3, and strongly agree = 4). The second part has 21 questions answered with a 5-point Likert Scale (can't do/always difficult = 1, usually difficult = 2, sometimes difficult = 3, usually easy = 4, always easy = 5). The patient must select one of the scales for each of the 44 questions. The answers are self-reported via REDCap, one time after the survey is distributed.
