    ABSTRACT Objective To translate, adapt and evaluate the properties of a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Patients with Diabetes, which is a questionnaire that evaluate diabetes knowledge. Methods A cross-sectional study with type 2 diabetes patients aged ≥60 years, seen at a public healthcare organization in the city of Sao Paulo (SP). After the development of the Portuguese version, we evaluated the psychometrics properties and the association with sociodemographic and clinical variables. The regression models were adjusted for sociodemographic data, functional health literacy, duration of disease, use of insulin, and glycemic control. Results We evaluated 129 type 2 diabetic patients, with mean age of 75.9 (±6.2) years, mean scholling of 5.2 (±4.4) years, mean glycosylated hemoglobin of 7.2% (±1.4), and mean score on Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Patients with Diabetes of 42.1% (±25.8). In the regression model, the variables independently associated to Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Patients with Diabetes were schooling (B=0.193; p=0.003), use of insulin (B=1.326; p=0.004), duration of diabetes (B=0.053; p=0.022) and health literacy (B=0.108; p=0.021). The determination coefficient was 0.273. The Cronbach a was 0.75, demonstrating appropriate internal consistency. Conclusion This translated version of the Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy Patients with Diabetes showed to be adequate to evaluate diabetes knowledge in elderly patients with low schooling levels. It presented normal distribution, adequate internal consistency, with no ceiling or floor effect. The tool is easy to be used, can be quickly applied and does not depend on reading skills.

    Association between health literacy and glycemic control in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and modifying effect of social support
    (2020) SOUZA, Jonas Gordilho; FARFEL, Jose Marcelo; JALUUL, Omar; QUEIROZ, Marcia Silva; NERY, Marcia
    Objective: To investigate the association between inadequate functional health literacy, considering the Short Assessment of Health Literacy for Portuguese-speaking Adults, and glycemic control in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, and to examine this association in low social support settings, according to Medical Outcomes Study. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted at the diabetes referral center of a university hospital. Participants were recruited among type 2 diabetes patients aged 60 years or older, between May 2013 and November 2014. The primary outcome was the most recent glycated hemoglobin value measured within the last 6 months. Results: A total of 398 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were evaluated. Of these, 232 were not eligible to participate. The final sample comprised 166 participants. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was performed. The following variables were entered in three blocks: sociodemographic characteristics, clinical variables and health literacy scores. Regression analysis of the interaction between health literacy and social support as a determinant of glycemic control was also performed. Mean age of subjects was 68.0 years (standard deviation of 5.9). Mean glycated hemoglobin value was 8.5% (standard deviation of 1.4). Short assessment of health literacy for Portuguese speaking adults score was independently associated with glycated hemoglobin (B=-0.059; p=0.043). The interaction between social support and health literacy score (p=0.003) was a determinant of glycemic control. Conclusion: Health literacy is associated with glycemic control. Social support may modify the relation between health literacy and glycemic control.
