Özet:

 Aim: This study was conducted to determine the effects of participants health literacy and health perception levels and demographic differences on two variables and to examine the relationship between these two concepts. Materials and Methods: In the research, the Health Literacy Scale adapted to Turkish by Bayık and Aras 2017, and the Health Perception Scale adapted to Turkish by Kadıoğlu and Yıldız 2012 have been used. The data obtained through 372 participants were evaluated by performing parametric tests with SPSS ver. 24.0 statistical package program. Results: It was determined that the general health literacy level of the participants 107.3713.11 was above medium and the general health perception 53.077.19 was medium. It has been found that some demographic variables make a difference in terms of health literacy and health perception. A statistically significant, moderate, and positive correlation has been found between health literacy and health perception levels r 0.458; p0.05. It has been determined that both the perception of health in general and the sub-dimensions of certainty, self-awareness, and the importance of health have a positive effect on health literacy and health literacy in general and the sub-dimensions of access to information and application have a positive effect on health perception. Conclusion: The uneven distribution of health literacy and health perception levels in society can be considered as one of the factors that hinder the elimination of health inequalities. For this reason, it is recommended to strengthen the participation of all segments of society in improving health literacy and health perception levels.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, katılımcıların sağlık okuryazarlığı ile sağlık algısı düzeylerinin ve demografik farklılıkların iki değişken üzerindeki etkilerinin tespit edilmesi ve bu iki kavram arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmada Bayık ve Aras 2017 tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve Kadıoğlu ve Yıldız 2012 tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. 372 katılımcı aracılığı ile elde edilen veriler SPSS ver. 24.0 istatistik paket programı ile parametrik testler yapılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların genel sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin 107.3713.11 orta üstü ve genel sağlık algısının 53.077.19 orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bazı demografik değişkenlerin sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlık algısı bakımından farklılık oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sağlık okuryazarlığı ile sağlık algısı düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı, orta düzeyde ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir r 0.458; p0.05. Genel olarak sağlık algısının ve alt boyutlarından kesinlik, öz farkındalık ve sağlığın öneminin sağlık okuryazarlığı üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu ve genel olarak sağlık okuryazarlığının ve bilgiye erişim ve uygulama alt boyutlarının sağlık algısı üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlık algısı düzeyinin toplumdaki dengesiz dağılımı, sağlık eşitsizliklerinin giderilmesinin önünde engel oluşturan faktörlerden biri olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu nedenle sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlık algısı düzeylerinin iyileştirilmesinde toplumun her kesiminin katılımının güçlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
