Abstract

Abstract: Health literacy at present has become a hot research topic in health promotion field.There are various methods of evaluating patient’s health literacy,but there is still no unified use or recognized assessment tool of health literacy for cancer specificity in China.The paper reviews the contents,development process,reliability and validity of foreign assessment tools of cancer health literacy,and hopes to provide basis for future formation of recognized assessment tool of health literacy for cancer in our country.

Key words: Neoplasms, Health literacy, Assessment tools

摘要： 目前健康素养已成为健康促进领域的研究热点，有多种方法用于测评患者健康素养，但我国尚未有统一使用的或公认的癌症特异性健康素养评估工具，本文将国外癌症健康素养测评工具的内容、开发过程、信效度等进行综述，以期为将来形成我国公认的癌症健康素养评估工具提供依据。
