Abstract:
Medication literacy directly impacts the safety of drug therapy and clinical outcomes.Patients with low medication literacy demonstrate poorer medication adherence,higher medication risks,and inferior disease control outcomes.Chronic disease patients face significant medication safety hazards due to multimorbidity and polypharmacy.Accurately assessing medication literacy can quantify individual medication capabilities and promote safe medication management.This paper reviews the structure,methods,applicable population,current applications,advantages,and limitations of medication literacy assessment tools for chronic disease patients,both domestically and internationally.The aim is to provide references for developing and applying medication literacy assessment tools for patients in China,offering a basis for scientifically evaluating medication literacy levels and formulating medication safety intervention strategies.
