Abstract

This study explores the impact of social factors on the comprehension of medical terminology across diverse patient groups. Focusing on education level, socioeconomic status, and cultural background, the research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews with 300 participants. Findings reveal significant disparities in understanding; those with higher education and income levels demonstrate better comprehension compared to their lower-income counterparts. Cultural influences further complicate communication, often leading to misunderstandings. The results underscore the necessity for healthcare providers to adopt culturally competent communication strategies and use plain language to enhance patient understanding and engagement in their healthcare.
