Associations Among Health Literacy, Decision Self-Efficacy, and Decisional Conflict in Stroke Survivor-Caregiver Dyads.
Article in The journal of nursing research : JNR, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe cognitive and physical impairments often experienced by stroke survivors make health care decisions challenging for both survivors and their caregivers. Although poststroke care decision-making involves complex factors such as health literacy and decision self-efficacy, research on the interactions among health literacy, decision self-efficacy, and decisional conflict within stroke survivor-caregiver dyads remains limited. PURPOSE: This study was designed to explore the inter-relationships among health literacy, decision self-efficacy, and decisional conflict in stroke survivor-caregiver dyads.
methodsThis cross-sectional study, conducted from September 2023 to April 2024, included 305 pairs of Chinese stroke survivor-caregiver dyads. The All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale, Decision Self-Efficacy Scale, and Decisional Conflict Scale were used to collect data from both stroke survivors and their caregivers. A dyadic analysis was conducted using the actor-partner interdependent mediation model.
resultsIn terms of actor effects, decision self-efficacy was found to respectively mediate health literacy and decisional conflict in stroke survivors (β = -0.511, p < .001) and their caregivers (β = 0.212, p = .006). In terms of the partner effect, caregiver decision self-efficacy was found to relate negatively to survivor decisional conflict and to mediate the relationship between caregiver health literacy and survivor decisional conflict (β = -0.236, p = .019).
conclusionsThe results of this study indicate that, in stroke survivors, higher health literacy has a direct reducing effect on perceived decisional conflict. In light of this, dyadic-based intervention strategies should be developed. Examples include joint workshops designed to improve stroke survivor-caregiver shared information interpretation and comprehension, and the development of dyadic-oriented decision aids to help both dyad partners achieve information symmetry and consensus in their health care decision-making.
