Nutritional literacy of patients who underwent surgery for esophageal cancer based on Nutbeam's health literacy model: a qualitative study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe level of nutritional literacy reflects the self-management ability of individuals for a healthy diet and serves as a foundation for effective nutritional interventions. This qualitative study aimed to gain a comprehensive insight into the nutritional literacy levels of patients with esophageal cancer who underwent surgery, obtaining information from both patients and medical staff through interviews.
methodsBased on Nutbeam's health literacy model, 27 participants were selected from December 2023 to February 2024. We used semi-structured interviews and directed content analysis.
resultsSixteen patients who underwent surgery for esophageal cancer and 11 medical staff from the Department of Esophageal Cancer completed the interviews. There were five themes, including attitude and cognition, functional nutrition literacy, interactive nutrition literacy, critical nutrition literacy, and ways to improve patients' nutritional literacy.
conclusionThis study investigated the nutritional literacy levels of patients after esophageal cancer surgery from the perspectives of both patients and medical staff, offering comprehensive insights into the assessment of patients' nutritional literacy and the corresponding strategies for improvement. It emphasizes the hierarchical nature of nutritional literacy among patients after surgery and systematically outlines the different levels of nutritional literacy in this population. The results indicated that the level of nutrient literacy was low and exhibited marked differences. This finding suggests that future studies should be individualized, continuous, and comprehensive, following the Nutbeam's health literacy model, to improve patients' nutritional literacy levels.
