Accessing and understanding new information, navigating healthcare, and appraising the role of the implant in body perceptions and everyday life requires health literacy (HL) of those affected as well as an HL-responsive healthcare system. The interconnectedness of these aspects to ethically relevant values such as health, dependence, responsibility and self-determination reinforces the need to address HL in implant care. Following a qualitative approach, we conducted group discussions and a diary study among wearers of a cochlear, glaucoma or cardiovascular implant (or their parents). Data were analysed using the documentary method and grounded theory. The data reveal the perceptions of implant wearers regarding the implant on (1) the ability to handle technical and ambiguous information; (2) dependence and responsibility within the healthcare system; and (3) the ethical aspects of HL. Knowing more about the experiences and values of implant wearers is highly beneficial to develop HL from an ethical perspective. Respective interventions need to initially address ethically relevant values in counselling processes and implant care.\r\n ","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1660-4601"]},"type":"journal_article","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph19126975"}],"volume":19,"doi":"10.3390/ijerph19126975","author":[{"first_name":"Constanze","full_name":"Hübner, Constanze","last_name":"Hübner"},{"first_name":"Mariya","orcid":"0000-0002-1201-427X","id":"252430","full_name":"Lorke, Mariya","last_name":"Lorke"},{"last_name":"Buchholz","full_name":"Buchholz, Annika","first_name":"Annika"},{"first_name":"Stefanie","full_name":"Frech, Stefanie","last_name":"Frech"},{"last_name":"Harzheim","full_name":"Harzheim, Laura","first_name":"Laura"},{"first_name":"Sabine","full_name":"Schulz, Sabine","last_name":"Schulz"},{"first_name":"Saskia","last_name":"Jünger","full_name":"Jünger, Saskia"},{"full_name":"Woopen, Christiane","last_name":"Woopen","first_name":"Christiane"}],"issue":"12","publisher":"MDPI AG","oa":"1","status":"public","_id":"2633","citation":{"bibtex":"@article{Hübner_Lorke_Buchholz_Frech_Harzheim_Schulz_Jünger_Woopen_2022, title={Health Literacy in the Context of Implant Care—Perspectives of (Prospective) Implant Wearers on Individual and Organisational Factors}, volume={19}, DOI={10.3390/ijerph19126975}, number={126975}, journal={International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Hübner, Constanze and Lorke, Mariya and Buchholz, Annika and Frech, Stefanie and Harzheim, Laura and Schulz, Sabine and Jünger, Saskia and Woopen, Christiane}, year={2022} }","mla":"Hübner, Constanze, et al. “Health Literacy in the Context of Implant Care—Perspectives of (Prospective) Implant Wearers on Individual and Organisational Factors.” International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, vol. 19, no. 12, 6975, MDPI AG, 2022, doi:10.3390/ijerph19126975.","ama":"Hübner C, Lorke M, Buchholz A, et al.
