目的:医学影像健康素养的重要性得到了广泛认可,然而,目前的景观仍然没有得到充分的理解。本研究旨在探讨与医学影像相关的健康素养研究的范围。
方法:范围审查。
方法:使用三个在线书目数据库进行了范围审查,即PubMed,ScienceDirect,和CINAHL。我们采用了健康素养的概念,作为临床风险和个人资产,来指导这次审查。
结果:在311篇独特文章中,39符合我们的选择标准。作者确定了五个主题(类别):与接受医学影像检查结果的患者进行适当的沟通,医学成像的适当使用,电子健康素养的类别和特征,疾病/恶化预防,和病人的教育。此外,确定了17种健康素养评估工具,包括11个原创作品。最后,这次范围界定审查提出了11项建议,提供对方法的有价值的见解,考虑因素,以及促进健康素养的策略。
结论:医学影像中的健康素养研究涵盖了临床和公共卫生观点,造福于不同的人群,不管潜在的医疗条件。值得注意的是,这些研究中使用的大多数评估工具都是作者生成的,阻碍交叉研究比较。鉴于医学图像传达直观信息的先天能力,这些图像不仅使接受医学成像检查的患者受益,但它们也具有提高公共卫生素养的巨大潜力。健康素养与医学影像紧密相关,相互促进。
OBJECTIVE: The importance of health literacy in medical imaging is well recognized, yet the current landscape remains inadequately understood. This study aims to explore the extent of health literacy studies contextualized to medical imaging.
METHODS: Scoping review.
METHODS: A scoping review was conducted using three online bibliographic databases namely, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL. We have adopted the concept of health literacy, as a clinical risk and personal asset, to guide this review.
RESULTS: Of 311 unique articles, 39 met our selection criteria. Five themes (categories) were identified by the authors: appropriate communication with patients who receive medical imaging test results, appropriate usage of medical imaging, classes and characteristics of eHealth literacy, disease/deterioration prevention, and patient education. Additionally, 17 health literacy assessment tools were identified, including 11 original creations. Finally, 11 recommendations have emerged from this scoping review, offering valuable insights into methods, considerations, and strategies for promoting health literacy.
CONCLUSIONS: Health literacy studies in medical imaging cover both clinical and public health perspectives, benefiting diverse populations, regardless of underlying medical conditions. Notably, the majority of assessment tools used in these studies were author-generated, hindering cross-study comparisons. Given the innate capacity of medical images to convey intuitive information, those images do not solely benefit the patients who are given medical imaging examinations, but they also hold significant potential to enhance public health literacy. Health literacy and medical imaging are closely associated and mutually reinforce each other.
