| description | Health literacy commonly refers to the extent to which one can access and accurately interpret healthcare information. Statistics reveal that limited health literacy is prevalent among those of lower socioeconomic status. When working with low-income mothers, it is recommended in this article that healthcare professionals operationalize a broader conceptualization of health literacy than assessment of reading levels and translating knowledge of risk factors for illness and disease. Nutbeam's continuum of functional, interactive, and critical health literacy directs healthcare professionals to expand their health education mandate to encompass equipping low-income mothers with the necessary knowledge and skills to gain control over their lives and optimize the healthy development of their children. Tenets from social cognitive theory, principles from interdependence theory, and strategies from Freire's empowerment education model are integral to successful progression along Nutbeam's health literacy continuum. |
