Multiple regression analysis showed that self-efficacy(β=0.210), coronary heart disease knowledge (β=0.226) were significant factors of health literacy(both P<0.01). Conclusion The self-efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge have impact on the health literacy.The more self-efficacy and coronary heart disease knowledge, the higher health literacy.
