Abstract: | Health literacy can be defined as the way people understand information about health and
health care and how they apply this information to their lives, how they use it to make
decisions and how they act based on this understanding. This concept becomes more relevant
when we refer to vulnerable groups of the population, as is the case of the chronically
ill, within this population were considered people with breast cancer. In Portugal,
breast cancer is the most common tumor in women and, globally, is responsible for the
greatest loss of healthy life expectancy compared to other types of cancer. Regarding the
levels of health literacy in this population, it is thought that these are below sufficient.
To respond to this reality, and from the reflection elaborated, it was built a plan to promote
health literacy was developed, where measures and actions in the specific area of
breast cancer rehabilitation are mentioned. The aim is to disseminate a proposed action
plan and from it generate good health practices and a structured and planned care. |
