By Yu G, Lu S, Hu W and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
This single-center cross-sectional study examined health information-seeking behavior (HISB) among hospitalized patients with stroke, a population with substantial information needs during rehabilitation and discharge planning. Evidence remains limited on the joint associations of social support, quality of life, and multidimensional health literacy with HISB.
Objective
To characterize overall and domain-specific HISB and examine its associations with social support, quality of life, and health literacy.
