Özet:

 The aim of this study is to find the correlation between mental health literacy and psychological help-seeking attitudes of Health Services Vocational School students and to determine the socio-demographic characteristics that affect mental health literacy. The research was realized in a descriptive form at a state university in Izmir between April and May 2022. Between the specified dates, 138 students who could be reached and volunteered participated in the research. Data were collected with a questionnaire that determines sociodemographic characteristics, Mental Health Literacy Scale MHLS, and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form ATSPPH-SF. Data were evaluated by using number, mean, percentage, independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance ANOVA tests in SPSS 25 program. The students total MHLS score was 106.3414.09 and the mean ATSPPH-SF score was 15.574.62.r While the level of knowledge about recognizing diseases and reaching professional help was found to be higher in women compared to men, attitudes that facilitate seeking appropriate help for mental health-related diseases and attitudes towards mental health-related diseases were found to be higher in men compared to women. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between MHLS and ATSPPH-SF. The MHL score of the students was found to be moderate and a positive relationship was found between MHLS and seeking psychological help.

 Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ile psikolojik yardım arama tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığını etkileyen sosyo-demografik özellikleri belirlemektir. Araştırma, Nisan-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. İzmirde yer alan bir devlet üniversitesinde okuyan 138 öğrenci örneklemi oluşturmaktadır. Veriler sosyo-demografik özellikleri belirleyen anket formu, Ruh Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği RSOÖ ve Psikolojik Yardım Aramaya İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği- Kısa formu PYAİTÖ-KF ile toplanmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 25 programında sayı, ortalama, yüzde, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA testleri kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin RSOÖ toplam puanı 106.3414.09 ve PYAİTÖ-KF puan ortalaması 15.574.62 olarak belirlenmiştir. 2. sınıfta okuyan öğrencilerde Risk faktörlerine ve nedenlerine yönelik bilgi 1. sınıflara oranla istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek düzeyde saptanmıştır. Kadınlarda hastalıkları tanıyabilme ve profesyonel yardıma ulaşmaya yönelik bilgi düzeyi erkeklere kıyasla daha yüksek puanda saptanırken erkeklerde ruh sağlığı ile ilgili hastalıklara yönelik uygun yardım aramayı kolaylaştıran tutumlar ve ruh sağlığı ile ilgili hastalıklara yönelik tutumlar kadınlara kıyasla daha yüksek düzeyde saptanmıştır. RSOÖ ile PYAİTÖ-KF arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır.
