Özet:

 Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between medication compliance and health literacy in geriatric patients. Methods: The population of this study consists of 207 patients aged 65 and over who applied to the outpatient clinics of a training and research hospital and a public hospital in a province in the Southeastern Anatolia Region. Data were collected using the Structured Survey Form, Medication Compliance Report Scale and Health Literacy Scale. the study, CFA was performed with IBM AMOS 21 to determine the structural validity of health literacy in individuals over the age of 65. Results: The average age of the participants was 69.85  4.87 years. It was determined that income level, health literacy and marital status increased medication compliance, but age did not show a significant relationship with medication compliance. A positive significant relationship was found between medication compliance and health literacy scale mean score. Conclusion: These findings suggest that health literacy is a critical factor in medication adherence in geriatric patients. Educational programs aimed at improving health literacy levels are an important strategy to increase medication adherence in this population.

 araştırmaktır. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmanın evrenini Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesindeki bir ilde bulunan bir eğitim araştırma hastanesi ve bir kamu hastanesinin polikliniklerine başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri 207 hasta oluşturmaktadır. Veriler Yapılandırılmış Anket Formu, İlaç Uyum Raporu Ölçeği ve Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırmada 65 yaş üstü bireylerde sağlık okuryazarlığının yapısal geçerliliğini belirlemek amacıyla IBM AMOS 21 ile DFA yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 69,85  4,87 yıldı. Gelir düzeyi, sağlık okuryazarlığı ve medeni durumun ilaç uyumunu arttırdığı ancak yaşın ilaç uyumu ile anlamlı bir ilişki göstermediği belirlendi. İlaç uyumu ile sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçeği puan ortalaması arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu bulgular, sağlık okuryazarlığının geriatrik hastalarda ilaca uyumda kritik bir faktör olduğunu göstermektedir. Sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerini iyileştirmeyi amaçlayan eğitim programları, bu popülasyonda ilaca uyumu artırmak için önemli bir stratejidir.
