Summary: Introduction: Functional health literacy (FHL) is an individual’s ability to comprehend health information, influencing the engagement in preventive practices, early disease detection, management of chronic illnesses, andaccess to healthcare services. Objective: To identify FHL levels and associated variables in patients undergoing intravenous antineoplastic outpatient treatment. Method: Between July 2020 and March 2021, 116 patients undergoing intravenous antineoplastic therapy respondedto a sociodemographic and health questionnaire, along with an FHL assessment tool. The dependent variable in this study was the level of LFS (Life Satisfaction) of the interviewees, while the independent variables were their sociodemographic, health, and professional-patient relationship characteristics. Results: Around 54% presented inadequate or borderline FHL. The analysis revealed higher odds of limited FHL among older patients (OR 1.05), those receiving chemotherapy for the first time (OR 4.57), and individuals with education up to elementary school (OR 23.42). Conclusion: The study highlights priority groups that require specialized attention and detailed guidance to improve care, especially patients at the beginning of cancer treatment.

Objetivo: Identificar los niveles de AFS y variables asociadas en pacientes sometidos a tratamiento ambulatorio antineoplásico intravenoso. Método: Entre julio de 2020 y marzo de 2021, 116 pacientes en terapia antineoplásica intravenosa respondieron a un cuestionario sociodemográfico y de salud, y a un instrumento de evaluación de AFS. Resultados: Alrededor del 54%mostró un AFS inadecuado o límite. El análisis reveló que la probabilidad de tener un AFS limitado era mayor en pacientes de mayor edad (OR 1,05), en aquellos recibiendo quimioterapia por primera vez (OR 4,57) y entre personas con educación hasta la escuela primaria (OR 23,42). Conclusión: El estudio destaca grupos prioritarios que requieren atención especializada y orientación detallada para mejorar el cuidado, especialmente en pacientes que inician tratamiento contra el cáncer.Introdução: O letramento funcional em saúde (LFS) é a capacidade de um indivíduo compreender informações de saúde, influenciando o envolvimento em práticas preventivas, detecção precoce e gestão de doenças crônicas, além do acesso aos serviços de saúde. Objetivo: Identificar os níveis de LFS e as variáveis associadas nos pacientes em tratamento ambulatorial antineoplásico endovenoso. Método: Entre julho de 2020 e março de 2021, 116 pacientes em terapia antineoplásica endovenosa responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico de saúde e a um instrumento de avaliação de LFS. A variável dependente deste estudo foi o nível de LFS dos entrevistados, enquanto as variáveis independentes foram suas características sociodemográficas, de saúde e relação profissional-paciente. Resultados: Cerca de 54% apresentaram LFS inadequado ou limítrofe. A análise revelou que a chance de ter LFS limitado era maior em pacientes mais velhos (OR 1,05), naqueles recebendo quimioterapia pela primeira vez (OR 4,57) e entre pessoas com educação até o ensino fundamental (OR 23,42). Conclusão: O estudo destaca grupos prioritários que requerem atenção especializada e orientações detalhadas para aprimorar o cuidado, especialmente pacientes em início de tratamento contra o câncer.INCA2024-03-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigos, Avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/449710.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2024v70n1.4497Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 70 No. 1 (2024): Jan./Feb./Mar.; e-094497Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 70 Núm. 1 (2024): ene./feb./mar.; e-094497Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 70 n. 1 (2024): jan./fev./mar.; e-0944972176-97450034-7116reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporengspahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/4497/3376https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/4497/3388https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/4497/3484https://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/4497/3462Copyright (c) 2024 Revista Brasileira de Cancerologiahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Paes, Nayara FernandesNeves, Camila Theodoro das Demartini, Karoliny Teles Martin Salles, Marcela Miranda Souza, Gilberto Barcelos deGiordani, Fabíola2024-06-04T19:55:07Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/4497Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2024-06-04T19:55:07Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
