简要总结
The goal of this observational study is to understand the role of health literacy in shaping the relationship between gender differences, illness identity, and self-efficacy in geriatric patients with cardiac diseases. The main question it aims to answer is:
Does health literacy mediate the relationship between gender, illness identity, and self-efficacy in elderly cardiac patients?
Participants with diagnosed cardiac conditions, will complete online surveys assessing their health literacy, illness identity, and self-efficacy over a one-year period. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be used to analyze the relationships among these variables.

主要结局
Illness Identity Questionnaire (IIQ)
时间窗: 1 month
Description: The Illness Identity Questionnaire (IIQ) is a 25-item, self-report, paper-and-pencil questionnaire that was initially used and validated in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Patients are asked to indicate how much they agree with 25 statements, using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1-5 (strongly disagree to strongly agree). The IIQ consists of a 5-item rejection scale (items 1-5); 5-item acceptance scale (items 6-10); an 8-item engulfment scale (items 11-18); and 7-item enrichment scale (items 19-25).
