“…According to the study of Bulut et al (2016), emergency medical technician students scored higher than nursing students in the nutritional habits subgroup. In a study conducted with university students, it was determined that midwifery students scored higher than medical laboratory techniques, dialysis and physiotherapy students, and medical laboratory techniques students scored higher than nursing students, unlike this study (Kazak et al, 2021). From another point of view, in a study conducted with university students, it was determined that health vocational high school graduates have higher HR (Tuygar & Arslan, 2015).…”

“…However, it was seen that total ALP and subscale scores did not differ according to gender in studies of Kaya et al (2016) and Esatbeyoğlu and Kin İşler (2018). In studies using different scales, it was observed that scale scores in various dimensions differed according to gender (Aktaş Özakgül et al, 2016;Bebiş et al, 2015;Coşkun & Karagöz, 2021;Karadamar et al, 2014;Kazak et al, 2021;Turan et al, 2021;Yaşar et al, 2018).…”

“…In studies conducted with healthy adolescent children in Turkey, it was stated that healthy lifestyle behaviors were not at the desired level (Akgün et al, 2021;Akoğuz Yazıcı, 2022;Aktaş Özakgül, et al, 2016;Ardic & Esin, 2016;Dindar, 2022;Esatbeyoğlu & Kin İşler, 2018;Karabacak, 2019;Karagözoğlu, 2021;Kaya et al, 2016;Kazak et al, 2021;Metin Karaaslan & Çelebioğlu, 2018;Temiz & Harmankaya, 2022;Turan et al, 2021;Tuygar & Aslan, 2015;Yalçın, 2018;Yaşar et al, 2018).

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of Vocational and Technical Anatolian high school (VTAHS) health services students. Method: The research is of descriptive type and was conducted in all schools of a province that have health services in VTAHS. The sample consisted of 681 students attending the 11th grade. Data were collected with a personal information form and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile (ALP) scale. T-Test in Independent Groups, Mann-Whitney U Test, One-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis were used in the analysis of the data. Bonferroni was used in the post hoc analysis. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 16.73± 0.52, 74.6% were female, 9.8% were overweight, and 6.2% were obese. While the lowest mean score was observed in the subgroup of health responsibility (2.10±0.48), the highest mean score (3.14±0.51) was observed in the interpersonal relations subgroup. Being a woman, living in a town, having a broken family member, studying in the midwife assistant department, not staying with the family, not working, having bad family or friend relations, having a diagnosis of illness, having a bad perception of health status, not having a normal weight BMI was at a disadvantage in terms of ALP scale scores. Conclusion and Suggestions: Some features were found to be effective in ALP scale scores. These students, who are on the way to become the health personnel of the future, should be made aware of healthy lifestyle behaviors and interventional studies should be carried out to develop these behaviors.

Background: Health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors are both pivotal elements for public health improvement. This meta-analysis aims to scrutinize studies investigating the nexus between health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors and to examine the correlation between health literacy and such behaviors. Methods: Studies conducted from 2013 to 2023 exploring the association between health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors, as well as the impact of gender and chronic disease status on health literacy, were included. The selection criteria for the meta-analysis involved a literature search utilizing databases such as PubMed, Google Academic, Web of Science, and the National Thesis Center. The keywords “health literacy” and “healthy lifestyle behaviors” were employed, identifying 206 studies. Subsequently, 53 studies meeting predetermined criteria were deemed suitable for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Results: The analysis of the relationship between health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors revealed no publication bias. Despite heterogeneity among the studies, the correlation effect size was determined to be 0.278 using the random effect model. In the meta-analysis examining the effect of gender on health literacy, no publication bias was detected. Since there was heterogeneity among the studies, the average effect size was calculated as 0.078 according to the random effect model. Regarding the meta-analysis on the effect of chronic disease status on health literacy, no publication bias was observed, and due to homogeneity between the studies, the average effect size was determined to be −0.098 using the fixed effect model. Conclusion: A positive yet weak relationship was identified between health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Notably, gender was a significant sociodemographic factor affecting health literacy, with higher levels observed in women. Moreover, individuals without chronic diseases exhibited higher mean health literacy scores than those with chronic diseases.
