Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the relationship between social support and health literacy among young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease following PCI.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on convenience samples of 325 young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI within 1 to 3 months. The data were collected from the outpatient department of a tertiary general hospital in Wenzhou, China, between July 2022 and February 2023. The questionnaire format was utilized to gather data on demographic characteristics, social support, self-efficacy, and health literacy. A structural equation model was employed to establish and validate the pathways.
Results: The mean age of the patients included in the study was 45.32 years old, while their levels of health literacy, self-efficacy, and social support were 64.12±7.45, 27.71±4.23, and 65.53±6.43 respectively. Significant associations were observed between social support and health literacy in the CHD population, with self-efficacy playing a partial mediating role. Together, social support and self-efficacy accounted for 53.3% of the variance in health literacy. The Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive association between health literacy and both social support (r = 0.390, P < 0.01) and self-efficacy (r = 0.471, P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Social support exerted a direct impact on health literacy and an indirect effect on health literacy through self-efficacy among patients with CHD.

Health literacy (HL) is a fundamental factor in raising health awareness and self-management, especially in contexts with increasingly complicated health systems. Its accurate and culturally appropriate measurement is necessary to support effective medical interventions. Accordingly, we translated the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) into Vietnamese and analysed its psychometric properties on the basis of data derived from respondents who completed the translated instrument.

Background: The Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC), established in 2005 and funded by the Australian Government, is a national quality improvement initiative that integrates patient outcome measures into routine clinical practice. While PCOC supports services to improve patient care, implementation across diverse clinical settings presents challenges, with variation observed between similarly resourced services. Engaging services in continuous quality improvement proves difficult as the program grows.
