简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effect of a health-information literacy promotion program for individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (including its subtypes) based on the Health Empowerment Theory. The study aims to answer the following questions:
Does the intervention improve health information literacy among study participants? Does the intervention lead to better health outcomes, including weight, waist circumference, BMI control, and metabolic health indicators (blood pressure, blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and blood lipids)?
Participants will:
Undergo the intervention program for 6 weeks (face to face and online) and will be assessed regularly to monitor changes in their health information literacy and health outcomes.
详细描述
- Health information management ability education based on health empowerment theory: ① health information literacy intensive training; ② medication management skills training; ③ self-monitoring skills practice; ④ diet and exercise management knowledge education.
- Health behaviour motivation management based on health empowerment theory: ① personalized goal setting: set learning goals with patients and clarify the weekly health information literacy improvement plan; ② peer support network construction: set up a discussion group to encourage patients to share their experiences in diet management and exercise practice, and enhance their knowledge of diet and exercise through group interaction; ③ Role model demonstration effect: patients with high health information literacy and remarkable self-management effects are set up as role models, and are invited to share their success stories.
- Health management support system based on the theory of health empowerment: ① online dynamic supervision: weekly Q&A sessions through WeChat groups to address issues such as health information screening, medication use, and interpretation of monitoring data; ② collaborative family-community support: inviting family members to join the health management group to assist in dietary planning, supervise the implementation of exercise, and linking with the community health service centres to provide personalized guidance; ③ digital monitoring platforms Digital monitoring platform: Using the Concordia Medical Weight Loss applet and diet management WeChat group to push customised health advice; ④Continuous supply of resources: Regularly updating links to authoritative channels, such as the website of the State Drug Administration and the China Public Health Network, to ensure that patients have access to reliable health information.

研究组 & 干预措施
Health Information Literacy Enhancement Group
A 6-week intervention programme was implemented for the health information literacy enhancement group, once a week, with each intervention lasting 30-40min, to enable the study participants to actively practice healthy behaviours through intervention techniques such as health awareness awakening, social resource building, and health-related skill empowerment, in order to enhance the health information literacy of the study participants, and ultimately to enable the study participants to perceive health in a programmatic manner.

主要结局
Health Information Literacy
时间窗: Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks).
Health information literacy (HIL) is essential to assist individuals in health decision-making. In this study, health information literacy will be measured using the Health Information Literacy Self-rating Scale.A 5-point Likert scale was used, with scores ranging from 1-5 for 'strongly disagree' to 'strongly agree', and a total scale score ranging from 29-145, with higher scores indicating higher levels of health information literacy. In the original study, the Cronbach's α coefficient for HILSS was 0.847, and the Cronbach's α coefficients for the dimensions.
次要结局
- Health Literacy(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks).)
- Chronic Patient Self-Management Questionnaire(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks))
- Nutrition Literacy(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks))
- Health Problem-Solving(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks))
- Chronic Illness Resources(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks))
- Health-related Quality of Life(Measurements will be taken once before the formal intervention and once after the intervention ends (at 6 weeks))
