Navigating caregiving challenges: the interplay of health literacy and resilience in families of chronically ill older adults

Abstract

This study reveals complex relationships among health literacy, caregiver challenges, and resilience in family caregivers. Higher health literacy is associated with fewer caregiving challenges and lower resilience levels; however, resilience does not mediate or moderate these relationships. Enhancing health literacy among caregivers is crucial for alleviating their challenges and enhancing their caregiving experiences. Future research should focus on targeted interventions to effectively increase health literacy.
