Instruments of health literacy used in nursing studies with hypertensive elderly

This study aimed to analyze nursing research regarding the instruments used to evaluate health literacy in elderly hypertensive patients.

The nursing research analyzed in this study revealed the gaps in care related to measures aimed to increase patients involvement in decision-making. Also, the instruments used for measuring health literacy showed limitations, and there is no gold standard test.
