Publication Open Access Adolesanlarda sağlık okuryazarlığı ile sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesiKARAGÖZOĞLU, Merve; İLHAN, NeslihanThis study was conducted as a correlational study to determine the relationship between health literacy and health behaviors in adolescents. The study was carried out with 649 students in four high schools on the Anatolian side of Istanbul between December 2019 and March 2020. The socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile II (ALP-R2) and the Health Literacy Scale for School Age Children were used to collect the data. Descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, frequency), Student's t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. The mean age of the adolescents who participated in the study was 15.54±0.95, 59.8% of them were girls, and 41.1% of them were 11th-grade students. It was determined that while 65% of adolescents had BMI within normal limits, 48.7% of them considered their health as good, and 85.4% of them had not heard of the concept of health literacy previously. It was determined that the mean score of the health literacy scale of the students who participated in the study was 28.95±5.79, and 61.9% of them had a moderate level of health literacy. The mean total score of the ALP-R2 scale was found to be 114.35±17.48. It was determined that females' mean score of the health responsibility and interpersonal relations sub-dimension was higher compared to males and that males' mean score of the nutrition and physical activity sub-dimension was higher compared to females. The mean score of the stress management sub-dimension of the 9th-grade students was higher compared to the 11th-grade students, the mean score of the spiritual health sub-dimension of the 11th-grade students was higher compared to the 10th-grade students, and the mean total score of the ALP-R2 scale of the 9th-grade students was higher compared to the 10th-grade students. The mean score of stress management of adolescents whose mothers were primary school graduates was found to be higher compared to the adolescents whose mothers were illiterate and literate. The mean total score of nutrition, stress management and the ALP-R2 scale of those with a broken family was found to be lower compared to the adolescents with a nuclear family and extended family. The mean score of health responsibility, positive perception of life, interpersonal relations, stress management and the ALP-R2 scale of the adolescents who spent the longest part of their life in cities and districts was found to be higher compared to those who spent the longest part of their life in the village. The mean score of all sub-dimensions of the ALP-R2 scale and mean total scores of the adolescents who participated in social activities were found to be higher compared to the students who did not participate in social activities. The mean score of the health responsibility sub-dimension of those with a disease that is constantly treated and those with medication was high. However, their mean score of the physical activity sub-dimension was found to be low. The mean score of the health responsibility sub-dimension of the adolescents who considered their health status as very good was found to be high compared to those who considered their health status as poor and moderate. The mean score of the positive perception of life sub-dimension of obese adolescents was found to be lower compared to those who were underweight, normal weight, and overweight. While the mean score of all sub-dimensions of the ALP-R2 scale and mean total scores of those with a high level of health literacy were found to be higher compared to those with a moderate and low level of health literacy, the mean score of all sub-dimensions of the ALP-R2 scale and mean total scores of those with a moderate level of health literacy were found to be higher compared to those with a low level of health literacy. A positive and significant relationship was found between health literacy score and the ALP-R2 scale. As a result of the study, it was determined that as the health literacy level of adolescents increased, their health behaviors increased positively.
