“…We also found that as the income status of the students increased, the average health literacy score also increased, although, this was again not statistically significant. In the literature, there are studies showing no significant difference between income levels and health literacy levels, similar to our findings [26,27], although, it has been concluded that there is a positive relationship between income status and health literacy [25]. Individuals who perceive their own health positively also have higher health literacy scores [24,26,27].…”

Objectives: This study investigated the effectiveness of a health literacy education program on first and emergency aid students during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a single group pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design. The study population consisted of 135 students of the First and Emergency Aid Program of a private university in Konya, Turkey. No sampling was performed because we could reach the entire study population. Therefore, the sample consisted of 114 students. Participants attended a health literacy education program (intervention). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a personal information form and the Health Literacy Scale (HLS). Number, percentage, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. The study adhered to all ethical principles. Results: Participants had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score (117 ± 5.03) than the pre-test score (105 ± 11.50) (p <0.05). Participants with a high income had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those with a low income (p <0.05). Participants covered by insurance had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who were not (p <0.05). Participants who did regular exercise had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Participants who knew about health literacy before the intervention had a significantly higher mean post-test HLS score than those who did not (p <0.05). Conclusion: The education program helped participants learn more about health literacy. Therefore, universities should integrate it into their curricula.

Introduction: The concept of health literacy requires individuals to have basic health knowledge in order to use health services correctly and effectively, and this is very important. Considering that research in the field of health literacy in our country is not yet at a sufficient level, it was aimed to determine the level of the concept of health literacy, which is gaining importance, among students of vocational schools of health services and related factors. Methods: The research is a descriptive cross-sectional type, and the population of the research consists of students studying at vocational schools of health services at Izmir Tinaztepe University, Ege University, Pamukkale University and Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University. Individual Introduction Form and Health Literacy Scale were used as data collection forms. Results: 1370 students participated in the research. The average age of the students is 20.29±2.86 years, 78.5% are female and 21.5% are male. It was determined that 24.6% of the students smoked and 22.4% consumed alcohol. The proportion of students participating in the research who read books frequently is only 31.4%. It was determined that 46.7% of the students in the research group knew the concept of health literacy. It was determined that the average score of the students in the research group on the health literacy scale was 110.24±12.22. In addition, it was determined that the average of the subscales, the access to information dimension, was 21.93±2.96, the average of the information understanding dimension was 31.17±3.58, the average of the evaluation/evaluation dimension was 35.40±4.57, and the average of the application/use dimension was 21.74±3.13. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the health literacy scale scores of the students according to their gender, family structure and literacy level, income level, smoking status, book reading frequency and general health status (p

Giriş: Sağlıklı olmayı ve sağlığı sürdürmeyi sağlayacak bilgilere erişme, anlama ve kullanma becerilerini tanımlayan sağlık okuryazarlığı bireylerin kendi sağlığı ile ilgili doğru karar alabilme durumu ile ilişkilidir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyini ve sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlemesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki çalışmamızın örneklem grubunu hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören 538 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu ve yetişkin sağlık okuryazarlık ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin yetişkin sağlık okuryazarlık ölçek puan ortanca değeri 15 olarak bulunmuştur. Birinci sınıftaki öğrencilerin yetişkin sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçek puan ortancası diğer sınıflara göre daha düşük bulunmuştur (p
