Abstract
Village Health Volunteers (VHVs) play a vital role in health teams by providing comprehensive healthcare services to the community. Promoting health literacy among VHVs, combined with the concept of self-management in preventing cerebrovascular disease in the community, is a process that enhances their ability to think and make informed health decisions. It also supports them guide behavioral changes among community members, acting as leaders in health promotion, disease prevention, and basic care provision. This article presents an approach to enhancing health literacy and integrating self-management concepts for VHVs in preventing cerebrovascular disease in the community. It aims to provide healthcare professionals with a framework to develop VHVs’ health literacy and self-management skills. This is related to their effectiveness in caring for the community’s health, reducing the risk of disability, and lowering healthcare costs for the population. Moreover, this approach motivates learning and problem-solving related to health and self-care while providing opportunities for VHVs to practice and apply their knowledge in daily life. Successful self-health management fosters confidence, stimulates the pursuit of knowledge, and promotes continuous learning about diseases and healthcare practices.
