The influence of family health on self-efficacy in patients with chronic diseases: the mediating role of perceived social support and the moderating role of health literacy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic diseases are a global health challenge, and therefore, more attention should be paid to improving self-efficacy in people with chronic diseases. This study examined the relationship between family health and self-efficacy, and explored the mediating role of perceived social support and the moderating role of health literacy. The aim is to enhance the self-efficacy of chronic patients by improving family health, social support, and health literacy, thereby improving their physical and mental state.
methodsA cross-sectional study based on psychological and behavioural factors was conducted, namely, the 2022 China Residents Survey, which included 5150 Chinese patients with chronic diseases. The General Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form was used to assess self-efficacy, the Health Literacy Questionnaire-short form was used to assess health literacy, the Perceived Social Support Scale-Short Form was used to evaluate perceived social support, and the Chinese version of the Family Health Scale-Short Form was used to assess family health status.
resultsFamily health of patients with chronic diseases had a significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Perceived social support was identified as a partial mediator between family health and self-efficacy, accounting for 59.39% of the total effect. Health literacy moderated the impact of family health on perceived social support and self-efficacy.
conclusionsChronic diseases have become a global health challenge, and more attention should be paid to improving the self-efficacy of the chronically ill population. Our results not only facilitate the understanding of the relationship mechanisms between family health and self-efficacy in chronic patients but can also serve as a guide for healthcare workers and policymakers who wish to provide better care for patients.
