As a result of several studies indicating low health literacy levels in large parts of the population, strategies and action plans promoting health literacy were developed in many countries. The article analyses the origin, development and structure of the German Health Literacy Action Plan. Subject and methods In 2016, a civil society initiative was formed, aiming at developing a national action plan in an expert-based and collaborative manner. A group of 15 experts elaborated the core elements of the action plan, based on a literature review on existing health literacy approaches, action plans and empirical evidence. These core elements were further developed collaboratively in workshops with key stakeholders, self-help and patient organizations and individual consultation meetings. Afterwards, the National Action Plan was reviewed and previously formulated recommendations were refined before being published. Results and conclusion The National Action Plan Health Literacy in Germany presents 15 recommendations in four areas of action for promoting health literacy in Germany. This bottom-up strategy and the expert-based yet at the same time collaborative approach have proved to be successful when developing a national action plan.

The German COPSY study is among the first population-based longitudinal studies to examine the mental health impact of the pandemic. The objective of the study was to assess changes in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and mental health in children and adolescents and to identify the associated risk and resource factors during the pandemic. Methods A nationwide longitudinal survey was conducted with two waves during the pandemic (May/June 2020 and December 2020/January 2021). In total, n = 1923 children and adolescents aged 7 to 17 years and their parents participated (retention rate from wave 1 to wave 2: 85%). The self-report and parent-proxy surveys assessed HRQoL (KIDSCREEN-10), mental health problems (SDQ with the subscales emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, and peer problems), anxiety (SCARED), depressive symptoms (CES-DC, PHQ-2) and psychosomatic complaints (HBSC-SCL). Mixed model panel regression analyses were conducted to examine longitudinal changes in mental health and to identify risk and resource factors. Results The HRQoL of children and adolescents decreased during the pandemic, and emotional problems, peer-related mental health problems, anxiety, depressive and psychosomatic symptoms increased over time, however the change in global mental health problems from wave 1 to wave 2 was not significant, and some changes were negligible. Socially disadvantaged children and children of mentally burdened parents were at particular risk of impaired mental health, while female gender and older age were associated with fewer mental health problems. A positive family climate and social support supported the mental health of children and adolescents during the pandemic. Discussion Health promotion, prevention and intervention strategies could support children and adolescents in coping with the pandemic and protect and maintain their mental health Y1 - 2021 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1007/s00787-021-01889-1 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Ravens-Sieberer, Ulrike A1 - Kaman, Anne A1 - Otto, Christiane A1 - Adedeji, Adekunle A1 - Napp, Ann-Kathrin A1 - Becker, Marcia A1 - Blanck-Stellmacher, Ulrike A1 - Löffler, Constanze A1 - Schlack, Robert A1 - Hölling, Heike A1 - Devine, Janine A1 - Erhart, Michael A1 - Hurrelmann, Klaus T1 - Seelische Gesundheit und psychische Belastungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen in der ersten Welle der COVID-19-Pandemie – Ergebnisse der COPSY-Studie JF - Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz Y1 - 2021 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1007/s00103-021-03291-3 VL - 64 SP - 1512 EP - 1521 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Schaeffer, Doris A1 - Gille, Svea A1 - Berens, Eva-Maria A1 - Griese, Lennert A1 - Klinger, Julia A1 - Vogt, Dominique A1 - Hurrelmann, Klaus T1 - Digitale Gesundheitskompetenz der Bevölkerung in Deutschland Ergebnisse des HLS-GER 2 JF - Gesundheitswesen N2 - Ziel Durch die Digitalisierung gewinnen digitale Informationen zum Thema Gesundheit zunehmend an Bedeutung. Neben vielfältigen Chancen bringt diese Entwicklung auch Herausforderungen mit sich, denn mit dem wachsenden Angebot steigt zugleich der Bedarf an digitaler Gesundheitskompetenz (DGK). Im nachfolgenden Beitrag werden das Ausmaß der DGK in der Bevölkerung in Deutschland, zentrale Determinanten der DGK und Folgen für die Nutzung digitaler gesundheitsbezogener Informationsangebote analysiert. Methodik Die Analyse basiert auf Daten des zweiten Health Literacy Survey Germany (HLS-GER 2), bestehend aus einer repräsentativen Stichprobe mit n=2151. Die Erfassung der DGK, der Determinanten sowie der Nutzung digitaler gesundheitsbezogener Informationsangebote erfolgte mit einem im Rahmen der internationalen Vergleichsstudie HLS19 erarbeiteten Fragebogens. Es wurden bivariate und multivariate Analysen durchgeführt. Ergebnisse Insgesamt verfügen 75,8% der Bevölkerung über eine geringe DGK. Vor allem geringe literale Fähigkeiten, ein höheres Alter, eine niedrige Bildung sowie ein niedriger Sozialstatus gehen mit einer geringen DGK einher. Die multivariate Analyse weist zudem auf einen starken Zusammenhang zwischen DGK und allgemeiner Gesundheitskompetenz (GK) hin. Geringe DGK ist folgenreich und führt zu einer geringeren Nutzung digitaler gesundheitsbezogener Informationsangebote. Schlussfolgerung Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen die Wichtigkeit der Förderung von DGK der Bevölkerung und besonders von Gruppen mit geringer DGK. Entsprechende Bemühungen sollten die allgemeine GK einbeziehen, denn sie steht in engem Zusammenhang mit der DGK. Auch um die noch geringe Nutzung digitaler Informationsangebote in Deutschland zu erhöhen und generell, um der zunehmenden Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens zu entsprechen, stellt die Stärkung der DGK eine gesellschaftlich wichtige Aufgabe dar.

Health literacy is the ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information, making it crucial for navigating coronavirus and COVID-19 information environments. A cross-sectional representative study of participants ≥ 16 years in Germany was conducted using an online survey. A coronavirus-related health literacy measure was developed (HLS-COVID-Q22). Internal consistency was very high (α = 0.940; ρ = 0.891) and construct validity suggests a sufficient model fit, making HLS-COVID-Q22 a feasible tool for assessing coronavirus-related health literacy in population surveys. While 49.9% of our sample had sufficient levels of coronavirus-related health literacy, 50.1% had “problematic” (15.2%) or “inadequate” (34.9%) levels. Although the overall level of health literacy is high, a vast number of participants report difficulties dealing with coronavirus and COVID-19 information. The participants felt well informed about coronavirus, but 47.8% reported having difficulties judging whether they could trust media information on COVID-19. Confusion about coronavirus information was significantly higher among those who had lower health literacy. This calls for targeted public information campaigns and promotion of population-based health literacy for better navigation of information environments during the infodemic, identification of disinformation, and decision-making based on reliable and trustworthy information.

Er ist in kurzer Zeit zu einem viel zitierten Referenzwerk für Theorie und Praxis geworden. Der Plan mit 15 detailliert ausgearbeiteten Empfehlungen wurde anders als in anderen Ländern nicht von einer von der Regierung eingesetzten Kommission erarbeitet, sondern von einer zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiative: einem Expertenkreis von Wissenschaftlern unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, einigen Vertretern der Praxis und einigen Repräsentanten der Politik.

Developmental Tasks in Adolescence makes an exciting contribution to the field by applying socialisation theory to four major developmental tasks of life: Qualifying, Bonding, Consumption and Participation, arguing that if the tasks in these areas are mastered, then personal individuation and social integration can take place, a prerequisite for the formation of self-identity. In highly developed societies, adolescence encompasses a period of about 15 years on average. Puberty, or the transition from childhood, starts earlier and earlier, and the transition to adulthood is increasingly postponed. Developmental Tasks in Adolescence proposes that the way in which adolescents master the tasks of everyday life has become a pattern of orientation for the life stages which follow because of the new lifestyle requirements that are typical for modern democratic societies. Today, a life full of uncertainties and ambiguities is no longer limited to adolescence, but rather continues into adulthood. Hurrelmann and Quenzel's sociological approachis valuable reading for students and academics in psychology, sociology, education, social work and youth studies, and for those on professional training courses in these fields.
