Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to understand the role of health literacy in shaping the relationship between gender differences, illness identity, and self-efficacy in geriatric patients with cardiac diseases. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does health literacy mediate the relationship between gender, illness identity, and self-efficacy in elderly cardiac patients?

Participants with diagnosed cardiac conditions, will complete online surveys assessing their health literacy, illness identity, and self-efficacy over a one-year period. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) will be used to analyze the relationships among these variables.
