Health literacy is the ability to obtain, process and understand basic health information and is
one of the most important issues in the quality of patients' health.
and since it has an effect on promoting appropriate decisions on people's physical health, it can be said to be
effective on people's quality of life. Based on this, the researchers decided to conduct a study to determine the
relationship between health literacy and quality of life of the elderly living in nursing homes in Guilan province
in 2020.
Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional-analytical study. The statistical population included all the
elderly living in nursing homes in Guilan province in 2020. The statistical sample consisted of 89 people
from the mentioned statistical population who were selected through Cochran's formula and stratified-random
sampling method. Data collection tools included Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA) and Quality of Life
Questionnaire (SF-12). Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 and Pearson correlation coefficient,
ANOVA and t-test for independent samples at a significant level of p<0.05.
Results: The mean health literacy of the elderly was 78.97± 5.24 and the mean quality of life of the elderly was
37.40± 6.64. Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that there was a positive and significant correlation
between the overall score of health literacy level and the overall score of quality of life of the elderly (p <0.05).
There was also a positive and significant correlation between health literacy and general perception score,
physical function, physical health, physical pain, emotional problems, social functioning, vitality and vital
energy and mental health score in the elderly (p <0.05).
Conclusions: In this study, elderly people with higher health literacy had higher quality of life scores. The
country's health policy makers can consider health literacy as one of the components affecting the quality of
life of the elderly.
