dc.description.abstractGiven the high prevalence of rheumatic diseases in Portugal, contributing to significant disability and impacts on work, the study aims to assess the impact of health literacy, training, and empowerment on chronic disease management among patients with rheumatic diseases. Data were collected from a cross-sectional study involving rheumatic patients, including 209 participants, all of whom had various chronic rheumatic diseases. Health literacy, training, and empowerment play a significant role in the effective management of these diseases. Low levels of health literacy observed in this study can negatively impact both individual and community health, leading to increased health inequalities and affecting disease management. The analysed variables show significant roles of empowerment and health literacy in influencing areas such as autonomy, therapeutic adherence, social support, and quality of life. Considering this, new public and private approaches are needed to enhance patients' behavior, to improve their literacy, training, and empowerment. Furthermore, it is crucial to provide health professionals with effective communication strategies that foster a more comprehensive and holistic approach during their interactions with patients. This study highlights the importance of promoting health literacy and empowerment for transdisciplinary and multisectoral interventions. It emphasizes the importance of implementing actions that support health promotion policies and behavioral sciences. Such actions should focus on engaging communities in adopting healthy lifestyles, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future for global health.en
