Resumo

Objetivo: Desenvolver uma Teoria de Médio Alcance explicativa para o diagnóstico de enfermagem de letramento em saúde inadequado.

Método: Estudo de desenvolvimento teórico, conduzido entre 2024-2025 em seis etapas: definição do constructo, identificação dos conceitos, elaboração de diagrama ilustrativo, formulação de proposições teóricas, estabelecimento das relações causais e apresentação de evidências práticas para a implementação.

Resultados: Identificaram-se os fatores predisponentes, precipitantes, incapacitantes e reforçadores do letramento em saúde interligados em intervenções e resultados específicos para pessoas idosas. Com base no esquema pictorial, foram formuladas dez proposições explicativas que sustentam a proposição teórica.

Conclusão: A adoção das intervenções propostas pode promover o letramento em saúde e a autonomia das pessoas idosas favorecendo o envelhecimento saudável e sustentável.
