Descriptive statistics, t-test, Anova, Boferroni, pearson correlasyon and regression analyzes were used in the evaluation of the data, and the significance level was accepted as p0.05. Results: No significant relationship was found between the students total health literacy scale and total scores of the attitude towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine scale F1.5110.684, p0.409, p0.05. Conclusion: It was determined that the students had sufficient health literacy, that their health literacy level did not significantly affect their attitudes towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine, that they also had positive attitudes towards holistic complementary and alternative medicine, and that female students were more successful than male students in terms of health literacy.

 Giriş: Sağlık bölümlerinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin güvenilir ya da güvenilir olmayan bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp uygulamalarını ayırt edebilmesinde sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi önemlidir. Bu çalışmada sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulu ve sağlık bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıp hakkındaki tutum ve davranışlarını belirlenmesi ve sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi ile ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Gereç-Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte olan bu çalışma Mart-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında, Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi, Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi, Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu ile Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi, Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi bölümlerinde 2023-2024 bahar döneminde kayıtlı öğrenciler ile yürütülmüş olup 513 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. Verilerin toplanmasında, Demografik Bilgi Formu, Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği  ve Bütüncül Tamamlayıcı ve Alternatif Tıbba Karşı Tutum Ölçeği kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, t-testi, Anova, Boferroni, pearson korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri kullanılırken, anlamlılık düzeyi p0,05 olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçeği toplam ve bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba karşı tutum ölçeği toplam puanları arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı F1.5110.684, p0.409, p0.05. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin yeterli düzeyde sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip oldukları, sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba karşı tutumlarını anlamlı olarak etkilemediği, bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba karşı da pozitif tutum sergiledikleri, kız öğrencilerin sağlık okuryazarlığı bakımından erkek öğrencilerden daha başarılı olduğu belirlendi. Sağlık okuryazarlığı ve bütüncül tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tıbba karşı tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin, kültürel inançlar, değerler ve kişisel deneyimler gibi diğer faktörlerden nasıl etkilenebileceğinin araştırılması, erkek öğrencilerin sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin arttırılması için desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
