In recent years, the concept of health literacy has been substantially elaborated on, particularly regarding the development and implementation of interventions at different levels, efforts to improve its measurement, and the role of communities and organizations. While a range of advancements are uncontested, specific challenges still revolve around, for example, a thorough application of modern practices of health literacy that focus on societal support of health literacy strengths and response to health literacy challenges; developing, testing, and evaluating strategies for organizational health literacy responsiveness; and improving the co-design, local ownership, and integration of health literacy actions and interventions in communities experiencing vulnerability and disadvantage. This Special Issue showcases research addressing these and further aspects about developing health literacy - particularly among people with chronic diseases - by which we mean advancements in health practices, organizations, and policies that create enabling environments in which people have the necessary knowledge and feel confident accessing, understanding, and using health information and services.Health Literacy Development among People with Chronic DiseasesPublic health & preventive medicinebicsschealth literacyfishermenco-designBorollos lakehealth literacy questionnaire (HLQ)health inequalityOphelia (optimising health literacy and access) processeHealth literacychronic painself-efficacypsychological functionhealth literacy-sensitive communicationpatient-professional relationshipHL-COMinformation needspatient surveyhealth information sourcesfocus groupspeople with chronic illnessHLS-GER 2Germanycardiac rehabilitationheart attackempowermenthealth literacy developmenthealth literacy measurementnon-native English usersNepalStandards for Educational and Psychological Testinguniversity studentsvalidation studyHCPrehabilitantsagreementHLQintraclass correlation (ICC)physiciansphysiotherapistssocial workersnursesorthopedicallergy preventionhealth professionalsqualitative methodsmidwivesinequalityintervention developmenthealth literacy responsivenessorganizational health literacypregnancyhealth promotiondecision makingvaluesimplant careethical aspectshealth-literacy developmentcochlear implantsglaucoma implantscardiovascular implantsPublic health & preventive medicineDierks Marie-Luiseedt1337930Lander JonasedtHawkins MelanieedtDierks Marie-LuiseothLander JonasothHawkins MelanieothBOOK9910674371603321Health Literacy Development among People with Chronic Diseases: Advancing the State of the Art and Learning from International Practices3057630UNINA
