Özet:

 Healthy nutrition is very important in preventing chronic diseases and promoting overall health. This study aimed to assess the influence of health literacy HL and life satisfaction on healthy eating habits among married women aged 18-64. The present cross-sectional study was conducted from 2022 to 2023. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with women attending family health centers in the central district of Yozgat province. Data collection instruments included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Healthy Eating Attitudes Scale HEAS, the Adult Life Satisfaction Scale ALSS, and the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire-Short Form EHLS-TR-16. A total of 303 women participated in the study. It was found that 59.4 of the women in the research group exhibited high levels of dietary attitudes, with 26.1 achieving an ideal high level. Womens dietary attitudes were influenced by increased life satisfaction β0.359, receiving nutritional information from healthcare professionals β0.124, and higher health literacy β0.113. No significant relationships were observed between healthy eating attitudes and factors such as age, body mass index, family income level, education level, household size, profession and spouses profession, and education level. Women with higher life satisfaction, those who receive nutritional information from healthcare professionals, and those with higher health literacy have more positive attitudes toward healthy eating. It is recommended that women receive education on both health literacy and healthy eating.

 Kronik hastalıkları önleme, sağlığı koruma ve geliştirmede sağlıklı beslenmenin rolü büyüktür. Bu çalışma, 18-64 yaş arası evli kadınlarda sağlık okuryazarlığı SOY ve yaşam doyumunun sağlıklı beslenme üzerine etkisini ölçmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma kesitsel türde olup 2022-2023 yıllarında yapılmıştır. Veriler, Yozgat il merkezindeki Aile Sağlığı Merkezlerine başvuran kadınlarla yüz yüze görüşme ile toplanmıştır. Veri formları olarak sosyo-demografik özellikler, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği-Yetişkin YDÖ-Y, Avrupa Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ASOY-TR-16 ve Sağlıklı Beslenmeye İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği SBİTÖ kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya il merkezinde yaşayan 303 kadın katılmıştır. Araştırma grubundaki kadınların 59,4ünün beslenme tutumlarının yüksek seviyede ve 26,1 i ise ideal yüksek seviyede olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadınların beslenme tutumunu, yaşam doyumunun yükselmesi β0,359, beslenme bilgisini sağlık personelinden almak β0,124 ve sağlık okur-yazarlığının yükselmesi β0,113 etkilemektedir. Kadınların yaşı, beden kitle indeksi BKİ, aile gelir düzeyi, öğrenim düzeyi, ailedeki kişi sayısı, meslek, eş meslek ve eş öğrenim düzeyi ile sağlıklı beslenme tutumu arasında önemli bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Yaşam doyumu yüksek olan, beslenme bilgini sağlık personelinden alan ve sağlık okur-yazarlığı yüksek olan kadınların sağlıklı beslenme tutumları daha yüksektir. Kadınlara hem sağlık okuryazarlığı hem de sağlıklı beslenme hakkında eğitimlerin verilmesi önerilmektedir.
