Background: Natural hazards pose threats and opportunities for enhancing health literacy among chronic patients. This study aimed to investigate temporal distribution patterns of health literacy literature in disasters, depict collaborations among researchers and leading countries, and provide insights for future research directions in this domain.
Materials and Methods: Mapping studies using bibliographic tools, and an oriented scoping review were conducted. A search strategy using synonymous terms in "disaster literacy and chronic diseases" was implemented on Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed from inception to 2024, resulting in the retrieval of 1885 articles. Additionally, software including VOSviewer, UCINET, and NetDraw were used.
Results: The concept of disaster health literacy grew from 2019 onwards. Patients with diabetes, hypertension, respiratory diseases, asthma, cancer, dialysis, and stroke faced the most challenges during disasters. Seven thematic clusters of studies were identified, encompassing research methods, types of literacy, vulnerable groups, chronic patients, study locations, disease management, and comorbidity types.
Discussion: The increasing body of research on disaster health literacy, particularly since 2019, reflects a growing global awareness of the unique challenges faced by individuals with chronic conditions during crises. Despite notable progress, significant gaps remain in understanding the cognitive and emotional dimensions of health literacy in disaster contexts.
Conclusion: Improving disaster health literacy plays a pivotal role in empowering individuals with chronic conditions to navigate crises with greater resilience and informed decision-making. To mitigate adverse outcomes, it is essential that national emergency frameworks integrate targeted health literacy interventions tailored to the needs of vulnerable populations.
