Research On Strategies To Improve The Health Literacy Of Middle-aged And Elderly In Sichuan

Although with the improvement of living standards at present,the health of the people is still facing many challenges.In early 2020,China will face large-scale public health emergencies,which will arouse attention from all walks of life.Also let us deeply realize the importance of health literacy.In 2012,in order to better measure the health status of citizens and the level of basic public services,the index of "residents’ health literacy" was formally added to the relevant planning.In the 2021 report of our government,one of the main goals of the 14 th Five-Year Plan period is to increase life expectancy by one year.The level of health literacy will not only affect the life span and quality of life of residents,but also adversely affect the development of productive forces in the whole society.The promotion of health literacy will have a beneficial effect on the following aspects: first,to improve residents’ awareness of prevention and health care,second,to improve residents’ cognitive ability on health status,third,to enable residents to make more rational and effective use of health care and old-age resources,and fourth,to better respond to public health emergencies.WHO in order to actively cope with population aging and improve life expectancy,the concept of healthy aging has been emphasized.As the group that the whole society needs to pay attention to in the future,only if they have good health literacy can they better promote the healthy China strategy and the healthy aging cause of our country.This paper mainly uses health promotion theory,behavior change theory and healthy aging theory to lay the theoretical foundation of this study.By using the questionnaire survey method,the health literacy level of middle-aged and elderly residents in Sichuan Province was investigated,the sample information was collected by questionnaires to the middle-aged and elderly groups,and the data was processed by SPSS software.The multiple linear regression model was constructed to analyze the main influencing factors of health literacy and its dimensions,and the corresponding solutions were put forward.Through the study,we can see that the gender,household registration,occupation,education level,marital status and health status of middle-aged and elderly people in Sichuan have a significant impact on health knowledge and concept dimension,lifestyle and behavior dimension and overall health literacy,but none of them have a significant impact on the dimension of basic skills.Under the strategic background of healthy China and healthy aging,we should put the improvement of health literacy of middle-aged and elderly people in an important position.First,we should deeply grasp the strategy of healthy China and build a health security system for the whole life cycle;second,we should build a basic public service system under the guidance of healthy aging to achieve social inclusion;third,vigorously promote intergenerational inclusion of aging society;the fourth is to establish a health literacy evaluation mechanism in Sichuan Province and a stable health literacy monitoring system.
