Özet:

 Background and Purpose: This study aimed to compare the health literacy, e-health literacy, digital health, and physical activity levels of undergraduate students in different departments. Methods: Undergraduate students 307 of whom were studying in the Physiotherapy department PT, and 228 in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences FEAS participated in the study. Health literacy HL European Health Literacy Scale, e-health literacy E-Health Literacy Scale, digital literacy Digital Literacy Scale, and physical activity level International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form IPAQ-SF were assessed. Scales were applied to the participants electronically via Google Forms. Results: There was no difference between the e-HL, digital, and health literacy levels of both department studentsp0.05. 70.1 of all students did not have enough HL. PT department students IPAQ-SF total score, severe physical activity, and walking activities were lower than FEAS studentsp0.05. There was no difference between the moderate levels of physical activity and daily sitting times of the students of both departmentsp0.05. 79.6 of all students did not have sufficient physical activity levels PALs. Conclusions: This study showed that HL and PALs were low in the majority of university students. HL education programs for university students before graduation and awareness studies to develop healthy behavior habits should be included in undergraduate education programs.
