[Identification and Prioritization of Research Questions on Paraplegia Caused by Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury with Those Affected, Their Relatives and Health Care Professionals].

Background: Objective With expertise based on experience, paraplegics, their relatives and health care professionals can contribute to the development of research questions relevant for those affected and those in health care practice. For this purpose, the James Lind Alliance (JLA) has provided a methodological approach. The aim of this study was to develop a research agenda for paraplegia resulting from traumatic spinal cord injury with an adapted JLA approach.

Patients' Health Literacy in Rehabilitation: Comparison between the Estimation of Patients and Health Care Professionals.

The term health literacy (HL) comprises the handling of health information and disease-specific and generic self-management skills, especially relevant for patients with chronic conditions. Health care professionals (HCPs) should correctly identify patients' communication needs and their HL levels. Therefore, the aims of the study were (1) to determine inpatient medical rehabilitation patients' HL based on self-assessment, (2) to evaluate changes from admission to discharge, (3) to identify HCPs estimation of patients' HL, and (4) to compare the estimated patient HL by patients and HCPs.

Organizational Health Literacy in a Hospital-Insights on the Patients' Perspective.

Health literacy-sensitive communication has been found to be an important dimension of organizational health literacy measured from the patients' perspective. Little is known about the role of health literacy-sensitive communication in complex care structures. Therefore, our aim was to assess which hospital characteristics (in terms of process organization) and patient characteristics (e.

Improving professional health literacy in hospitals: study protocol of a participatory codesign and implementation study.

Introduction: In connection with a hospital stay, patients have to make important health-related decisions. They need to find, understand, assess and apply health-related information, and therefore, require health literacy. Adequately responding to the needs of patients requires promoting the communication skills of healthcare professionals within healthcare organisations.

Priorities of patients, caregivers and health-care professionals for health research - A systematic review.

Background: Based on subjective experience, patients can identify research priorities important for health services research. A systematic method for priority setting has been developed by the James Lind Alliance.

Objective: This article reviews the literature on the research priorities of patients, caregivers and health-care professionals and presents the prioritized research themes and prioritization methods used.

The Agreement between Patients' and Healthcare Professionals' Assessment of Patients' Health Literacy-A Systematic Review.

Healthcare professionals (HCPs) can play a key role in promoting health literacy (HL) in patients to help them navigate the healthcare system effectively. This involves assisting patients to locate, comprehend and evaluate health information HCPs should assess patients' health literacy needs and check the patient´s understanding to communicate adequate health information. This review investigates the agreement between the patients' and HCPs assessment of patients' HL.
