Relationship between Health Literacy and Tardiness of Renal Progression in Chronic Kidney Disease with Diabetes Mellitus and/or Hypertension Patient in Ngao District, Lampang
Keywords:
Chronic kidney disease, Health literacy, tardiness of renal progressionAbstract
This cross-sectional study research aimed to study relationship between Health Literacy and tardiness of renal progression in Chronic Kidney Disease’s patients with multimorbidities: Diabetes Mellitus and/or Hypertension from Ngao district, Lampang, Thailand. Designed as a cross-sectional study, a total of 147 patients are included from Taro Yamane Formula, to identify individuals’ Health Literacy using Chanuantong’s assessment and categorized into three levels: ‘above-average’, ‘average’ and ‘below-average’. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) record of each samples in year 2020 and 2021 are collected to assess the tardiness of renal progression. The data area analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test with p-value less than .05 (p<.05).
In terms of Health Literacy level, the results showed 1) that the majority, 69 samples (46.90%), are categorized as ‘below-average’, while 54 samples (36.70%) are defined as ‘average’ group and only 24 samples (16.30%) are ‘above-average’. 2) An eGFR change from year 2020 to 2021 are decreased, in a significant level of statistics, at 3.48 ml/min/1.73 m2 3) Levels of Health Literacy are statistically significantly related to tardiness of renal progression in patients with Diabetes Mellitus and/or Hypertension in Chronic kidney disease patients whose eGFR are below 5 ml/min/1.73 m2.
