Creating 'Win-Win' Outcomes For Patients With Low Health Literacy: A Nursing Case Study

Abstract

Health literacy is a critical factor in patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. Patients with low health literacy face significant challenges in understanding their healthcare needs and navigating the complex healthcare system. This case study explores strategies for creating 'win-win' outcomes for patients with low health literacy through the lens of a nursing perspective. By utilizing patient-centered care, health education, and clear communication, nurses can empower patients with low health literacy to make informed decisions about their health and improve their overall outcomes.
