Abstract: (6116 Views)
Introduction: Health literacy and social commitment are effective factors in self-care. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health literacy and social commitment with health self-care during the coronavirus epidemic.
Methods: The method of the present research was cross-sectional. The statistical population of the present study included all Iranians aged 15 to 64 years in February and March 2021. 447 people were selected by the available sampling method. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS.v16 and ArcMap GIS 10.5 software and Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression statistical tests.
Findings: The results of Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that there is a significant relationship between health literacy (r = 0.377, P = 0.000) and social commitment (r = 0.311, P = 0.000) with health self-care. The results of the regression analysis test also showed that health literacy and social commitment predict 18% of changes in health self-care behaviors.
Discussion: Since health literacy and social commitment can be taught, it is recommended to health policymakers and public education providers to promote health self-care during the coronavirus epidemic, focusing on these variables.
