Özet:

 This research, since it took place in a certain time period, determines the relationship between health literacy level and behaviors of acquiring and confirming health information in the digital environment, is a cross-sectional study. In the study, appropriate statistical methods were preferred according to the data quality. Within the study, which is carried out on a university staff in Turkey the stratified sampling method was preferred for data gathering. Data were analyzed with the help of SPSS Statistical Package Program for Social Science V24.0 software. The results of the research were interpreted at 95 confidence interval and 5 confidence level p0.05. In the research, the average score of health information confirmation method acquired on digital platforms was high. However, health information obtained without using social media platforms had a higher average score than health information obtained using these platforms. The critical and interactive health literacy mean scores of the participants were higher, respectively while functional health literacy was lower. There was a negative and weak relationship between the behaviors of acquiring health information without using social media and critical health literacy. However, no significant relationship was found between the behaviors of acquiring health information using social media and all sub-dimensions of health literacy. Moreover, a positive and moderately significant relationship was found between the health information confirmation method obtained in the digital environment and all sub-dimensions of health literacy. It is recommended that the research should be carried out on more samples and in different universities by using the same measurement tools.

 Sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyi ile dijital ortamda sağlık bilgisi edinme ve teyit etme davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin belirlendiği bu araştırma belirli bir zaman diliminde gerçekleştiği için kesitsel türde bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada veri niteliğine göre uygun istatistik yöntemleri tercih edilmiştir. Türkiyede bir kamu üniversitesi personeli üzerinde gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, SPSS Statistical Package Program for Social Science V24.0 yazılım programı yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları 95 güven aralığı ve 5 güven düzeyinde p0,05 yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmada, dijital platformlarda edinilen sağlık bilgisi teyit yöntemlerine ilişkin puan ortalaması yüksek çıkmıştır. Ancak sosyal medya platformları kullanılmaksızın elde edilen sağlık bilgisi bu platformları kullanarak elde edilen bilgiye ilişkin daha yüksek puan ortalamasına sahip olmuştur. Katılımcıların sırayla eleştirel ve interaktif sağlık okuryazarlık puan ortalamaları daha yüksek iken fonksiyonel sağlık okuryazarlıkları daha düşük tespit edilmiştir. Sosyal medya kullanmaksızın sağlık bilgisi edinme davranışları ile eleştirel sağlık okuryazarlığı arasında ters yönlü ve zayıf düzeyde bir ilişkinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Ancak sosyal medya kullanılarak sağlık bilgisi edinme davranışları ile sağlık okuryazarlık alt boyutları arasında anlamlı herhangi bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Dijital ortamda elde edilen sağlık bilgisi teyit yöntemi ile sağlık okuryazarlığının tüm alt boyutları arasında pozitif ve orta düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Aynı ölçme araçları kullanılarak araştırmanın daha fazla örneklem üzerinde ve farklı üniversitelerde uygulanması önerilmektedir.
