Abstract
Literature Review:
- Patient inability to comprehend written healthcare information is a communication barrier (Jager et al., 2019).
- A systematic review of health literacy in pregnant women found that patients need adequate access, understanding, and the ability to apply information (Nawabi et al., 2021).
- Helping patients understand health information reduces risk of negative outcomes (Foster et al., 2016).
For obstetric patients, does applying health literacy principles improve readability of patient education materials?
