Abstract

The purpose of the survey is to evaluate health care literacy level of TCM and the health condition of residents in Qingyang District of Chengdu and to analyze the factors affecting TCM health care literacy and health status, then to explore the correlation between them, and finally to provide a theoretical basis for improving the TCM health care literacy and their health status. Literature analysis, questionnaire method and quantitative analysis are used in this study. The study finds that the TCM health care literacy level of residents in Qingyang District of Chengdu is low, and their health status is general. Then, there is a linear relationship between them. Some intervention measures should be taken, such as deepening medical and health system reform, improving medical insurance system, establishing citizen's health care and TCM health literacy monitoring and evaluation system, carrying out targeted health education, strengthening the promotion of TCM health care content in multiple forms and multiple channels and improving community nursing service system.
