ABSTRACT
Health literacy is an important social determinant of health. Achieving health literacy of immigrants can be critical to empower this disadvantaged population in healthcare communication. However, to achieve this goal, it is a prerequisite to examine the relationship between health literacy and patient engagement in healthcare communication. This systematic review conceptualizes behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of patient engagement in healthcare communication and examines how health literacy and patient engagement among immigrants shape each other. A systematic review was conducted to identify relevant articles from five databases between 2010 and 2020. The reviewers synthesized findings from 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that communication researchers should be more attentive to the emotional dimension of patient engagement in healthcare communication and that more empirical studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between health literacy and patient engagement among immigrants. Practical implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.
