Abstract

Background: Inadequate Health literacy (HL) is associated with poorer health outcomes and worse health care. Up to one-half of Iranian Women have difficulty in interpreting medical information, and national HL assessment has been limited in Iran. We have undertaken a systematic review of the literature and used a metaanalysis to examine the situation of HL status in Iranian Women, and determine the relationship between HL and Self-efficacy, and Self-care behaviors. Methods: Six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, Scientific Information Database) and other non-indexed citations were searched using a variety of keywords regarding HL and Iranian Women. The bias risk was decreased by the involvement of two independent reviewers assessing study quality and eligibility of included articles. Results: The average HL scores were in the range of marginal or limited (63. 08; 95% CI, 59. 83– 66. 32) in the Iranian Women. The HL score was significantly higher among pregnant Women (67. 55; 95% CI, 32. 54– 82. 57) and was lower in Women with chronic disease (57. 79; CI, 48. 34-67. 24). There was a significant association between HL and Self-efficacy and Self-care behaviors. Conclusion: The average level of HL in the period of the review was marginal among Iranian Women. The relationship of HL with Self-efficacy and Self-care behaviors was statistically significant but moderate.
