Yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinde olan bireylerde, daha fazla koruyucu sağlık hizmetleri kullanımı ve olumlu sağlık davranış özellikleri görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, akademisyenlerde sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin olumlu sağlık davranışlarıyla ilişkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu anket çalışmasında "Avrupa Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği Türkçe Uyarlaması" (ASOY-TR) ölçeği, 690 akademisyene uygulandı. Akademisyenlerin %28.8`i yeterli sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyindedir. Yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinde olan akademisyenlerde sigara içmeme, alkol tüketmeme, normal kilolu olma, yeterli fiziksel aktivite ve yeterli sıvı tüketme gibi olumlu sağlık davranışları gösterme oranı daha yüksektir. Yeterli genel sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinde olanlarda, mamografi çektirme, pap smear testi, osteoporoz taraması, kendi kendine meme ve testis muayenesi gibi koruyucu sağlık hizmetlerini uygulama oranı daha yüksektir. Sağlığın geliştirilmesi alt boyutunda yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinde olan akademisyenlerde, ulusal sağlık kampanyalardan haberdar olma oranı daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Hastalıktan korunma alt boyutunda yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinde olan akademisyenlerde, son 12 ay içinde kontrol amaçlı hekime başvurma oranı daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Akademisyenlerde sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi artırarak kendi sağlık sağlıkları konusunda olumlu sağlık çıktıları elde edilebilir. Böylelikle rol model akademisyenlerin ve dolaylı da olsa toplumun sağlık düzeyinde olumlu ilerlemeler sağlanabilir.
In individuals with a sufficient level of health literature, more protective health services and positive health behavior features are seen. This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship of the level of health literature in academics with positive health behaviors. In this study of identificative and cutting-edge type, the scale "European Health Reading Scale Turkish Adaptation" (ASOY-TR) was applied to 690 academics. 28.8 per cent of academic students are on a sufficient level of health literature. Academics with a sufficient level of health literature have a higher rate of positive health behaviors, such as non-smoking, no alcohol consumption, normal weight gain, sufficient physical activity and sufficient fluid consumption. In those at a sufficient general level of health literature, the rate of application of protective health services such as mammography, pap smear test, osteoporosis scan, self-must and testicular examination is higher. Academics with a sufficient level of health literature in the lower dimension of health development are more aware of national health campaigns (p<0.05). Academics with sufficient level of health literature in the low dimension of prevention of the disease have a higher rate of application to a doctor for control over the past 12 months (p<0.05). Academics can obtain positive health outcomes on their own health by increasing the level of health literature. Thus, the role model academics and even indirectly positive progress can be achieved in the health level of the society.
In individuals with sufficient health literacy levels, more use of preventive health care and positive health behavior characteristics are observed. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between health literacy level and positive health behaviors in academicians. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on 690 academicians with “European Health Literacy Scale Turkish Version” (HLS-TR). 28.8% of academicians have sufficient level of health literacy level. The sufficient health literacy level is highly positive health behaviors such as non-smoking, non-alcohol consumption, normal weight, adequate physical activity and adequate fluid consumption. Among the academicians with sufficient level of health literacy the rate of applying preventive health services such as mammography, Pap smear test, osteoporosis screening, breast self-exam and testicular self-exam is high. The rate of awareness of national health campaigns is also high among those academicians with sufficient literacy in the sub-dimension of promoting help (p <0.05). Among the academicians with sufficient level of literacy in the sub-dimension of prevention against disease, the rate of consulting a physician for check-up purposes has been higher than ever in the last 12 months (p <0.05). By increasing the level of health literacy in academicians, positive health outcomes can be obtained about their health. Thus, positive progress can be made in the role model of academicians and, by extension, in the health of society.
