Amaç: Araştırma, bir vakıf üniversitesi ve bir devlet hastanesine başvuran hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığının ve kullanılan eğitim materyallerinin sağlık okuryazarlığına uygunluğunun değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırma kapsamına bir Vakıf Üniversitesi ve Devlet Hastanesinin dahiliye polikliniklerine başvuran toplam 688 hasta alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, sağlık okuryazarlığını değerlendirmeye yönelik soru formu, Genel Sağlık Anketi, eğitim materyallerinin okuryazarlık yönünden uygunluğu için “Yazılı Materyallerin Uygunluğunun Değerlendirilmesi” formu ve materyallerin güvenirlik ve bilgi kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde Tüketici Sağlığı Bilgileri için Kalite Kriterleri (DISCERN) ölçüm aracı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 46.21±15.76, %72.2 ‘si evli ve %67.6 kadın, %44.8'i çalışmıyor ve %33’ünün geliri giderinden azdır. Hastaların %40.2’sinin okuma düzeyini kötü/çok kötü olarak değerlendirdiği, %52.5’inin bilgisayar ve 1/3’ünün sağlıkla ilgili bilgilere ulaşmak için internet kullandığı, çoğunluğunun okuma ve yazma ile ilgili aktivitelerde yardım aldığı saptanmıştır. Hastaların %68.9’unun tanı konulmuş bir hastalığı olduğu, %67.7’sinin en az 1 defa hastanede yattığı, çoğunluğunun ilaç kullandığı ve %56.1’ine yazılı bir eğitim materyali verildiği belirlenmiştir. Hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili durumlara yönelik aktivite puan ortalamaları genel olarak yüksektir. Eğitim düzeyi düşük, geliri az olan, sağlık düzeyi kötü/çok kötü olan ve yüksek riskli hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı puanlarının daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir(p<0.05). İncelenen yazılı eğitim materyalinden %40’ının uygun olmadığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Genel sağlık durumu kötü, eğitim düzeyi ve okuma yazma becerisi düşük, 60 yaş ve üstü hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı yönünden riskli grupta olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı yönünden desteklenmesi ve eğitim materyallerinin tekrar gözden geçirilmesi önerilebilir.
Purpose: The research was carried out with the aim of assessing the health literacy of patients applying to a foundation university and a state hospital and the adequacy of the educational materials used to health literacy. Method: It is a defining and cutting-edge type of research. A total of 688 patients applied to the internal clinics of a Foundation University and the State Hospital were taken into the research scope. In the collection of data, the question form for the assessment of health literature, the General Health Survey, the form "Evaluation of the conformity of written materials" for the conformity of educational materials in the direction of literature and the assessment of the reliability and information quality of materials, the quality criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN) measurement tool was used. The average age of patients is 46.21±15.76, 72.2 percent are married and 67.6 percent are women, 44.8 percent are unemployed and 33 percent are less than income spending. It was found that 40.2 percent of patients considered their reading levels bad/very bad, 52.5 percent used the internet to access health information, and one-third received help in reading and writing activities. 68.9 percent of patients were diagnosed with a disease, 67.7 percent were hospitalized at least once, the majority were taking medications and 56.1 percent were given a written training material. The average activity score for patients in situations related to health literature is generally high. It has been determined that low educational levels, low income, poor/very poor health levels and high risk patients have lower health readership rates (p<0.05). 40% of the examined written training material found not suitable. The result: the general health condition is poor, the level of education and the ability to read and write are low, and patients aged 60 and over are in the risk group in terms of health reading. It may be recommended that these patients be supported in the direction of health literature and re-examination of the educational materials.

A total of 688 patients who were referred to foundation University Hospital and the State hospital's internal medicine outpatient clinics were included in the study. Data was obtained via using questionnaire to evaluate health literacy, General Health Survey, “Evaluation of the Written Materials Appropriateness” form to evaluate available patient educational materials in healthcare centers, DISCERN (Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information) tool to determine reliability and information quality of the education materials. Results: The mean age of the patients was 46.21±15.76, 72.2% were married and 67.6% were women, 44.8% are not working and 33% are less than the income expenditure.
