Abstract

Health literacy is a fundamental determinant of infectious disease prevention and management, influencing individuals' ability to access, understand, and utilize health information effectively. This study systematically reviews the impact of health literacy on disease prevention behaviors, treatment adherence, and healthcare accessibility. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major academic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on peer-reviewed studies published in the past decade. Findings indicate that higher health literacy levels are associated with improved compliance with preventive measures, such as vaccination and hygiene practices, while lower literacy levels contribute to misinformation susceptibility and inadequate healthcare utilization. Community-based interventions, educational policies, and digital health strategies have demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing health literacy, particularly in vulnerable populations. However, disparities persist due to socioeconomic barriers, limited access to digital resources, and inconsistent policy implementation across different healthcare systems. Addressing these challenges requires multi-sectoral collaboration, increased investment in public health education, and the integration of digital literacy initiatives. Future research should explore innovative approaches, such as artificial intelligence-driven health education tools, to further improve accessibility and engagement. Strengthening health literacy remains a vital strategy in enhancing global health resilience and reducing the burden of infectious diseases.

Abstract

Maternal health education is a key determinant in improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study explores the effectiveness of community-based interventions and digital health tools in enhancing maternal knowledge and healthcare utilization. A systematic review was conducted using data from reputable databases to assess the impact of various maternal health education programs across different socio-economic and cultural contexts. Findings indicate that community-based maternal health education significantly improves knowledge retention and antenatal care adherence, while digital health tools enhance accessibility and engagement. However, socio-economic disparities, digital literacy limitations, and cultural norms hinder equitable access to maternal health information. Addressing these challenges requires integrated policy approaches, increased investment in healthcare infrastructure, and targeted digital literacy programs. This study underscores the need for sustainable maternal health education initiatives, combining technology with traditional health interventions. Future research should focus on assessing the long-term effects of digital health education, exploring artificial intelligence applications, and involving male partners in maternal health programs. Strengthening these efforts can contribute to a substantial reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality rates, particularly in resource-limited settings.
