Health literacy in practice requires the development of techniques
that ensure that the patient can better access information,
understand its content, know how to use this information, and make
better health decisions. If the patient makes better health
decisions, there are immediate reflexes in health outcomes. The aim
is to develop an approach based on the commitment and creation of
an atmosphere of trust that reduces uncertainty, anxiety, and
embarrassment based on a process of assertive, clear, and positive
communication (ACP model). The Handbook of Research on
Assertiveness, Clarity, and Positivity in Health Literacy brings
the consolidation of knowledge, strategies, and techniques to
improve health literacy. This book discusses the importance of
making sound health decisions: decisions that can save lives,
prevent premature deaths, avoid hospitalizations and abusive
resources to medical emergencies, and improve overall health
outcomes for the individual, family, community, and society.
Covering topics such as dietary guidance, health behavior change
models, and medication reconciliation, this resource has
theoretical and practical aspects essential to health information
libraries, hospitals, clinics, health centers, health schools,
patient associations, health professionals, medical students,
researchers, professors, and academicians.
