Objective
To establish if health literacy (HL) is linked to poorer outcomes and behaviours in patients with chronic pain. Design A prospective cross-sectional observational study. Setting Multidisciplinary out-patient pain clinics in three university teaching hospitals. Patients New patients (n = 131) referred to the pain clinic with a history of chronic pain (>12 weeks). Methods A questionnaire was distributed to chronic pain patients attending their first appointment. Those eligible for inclusion were newly referred patients who had pain lasting longer than three months. The questionnaire comprised the following sections: demographics, chronic pain status and disease-related knowledge, quality of life (SF-36), beliefs (Beliefs About Pain Control Questionnaire), and a validated HL tool (Newest Vital Sign). Results Of the 131 participants recruited, 54% had inadequate HL. The group was subsequently stratified according to HL level. In bivariate analysis, inadequate HL was associated with older age (p Conclusion Inadequate HL is prevalent in chronic pain patients, and may impact on the development of certain characteristics necessary for effective self-management. |
