Resumo
Parents and caregivers are essential in the management of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in children and adolescents. This is due to the dependence on support for the management of this health condition. Thus, the health literacy (HL) of parents and caregivers can play an important role in the health outcomes of these children and adolescents. Given the above, this study aims to evaluate the influence of the HL of parents and caregivers on the health outcomes of children and adolescents with DM. This is a systematic review, with searches carried out on October 2, 2024, in the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, Cinahl and Virtual Health Library, using descriptors related to “parents”, “caregivers”, “children”, “adolescents”, “diabetes mellitus” and “health literacy”. Two reviewers read the titles, abstracts and full texts according to the eligibility criteria and extracted the data from the included articles. The systematic review was registered in the prospero database (CRD42024604530). A total of 829 studies were identified in the initial search, of which six articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in this systematic review. The studies were published in different countries in Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. All studies had a cross-sectional design and evaluated clinical outcomes. Of these, three studies showed a statistically positive influence on the HL of parents and caregivers with adequate glycemic control, measured by glycated hemoglobin. Only one study evaluated humanistic outcomes, measured by quality of life, and was unable to statistically demonstrate the influence of the HL of parents and caregivers on this outcome. No study evaluated economic outcomes. The other studies did not present statistically significant results, which shows heterogeneity of findings. Thus, the results regarding the influence of the HL of parents and caregivers on child and adolescent health outcomes were inconclusive, highlighting a gap and reinforcing the need for further studies on the subject.
