Özet:

 The aim of the study is to determine the health literacy and rational drug use levels of individuals, to examine the relationship between them and to determine their changes according to sociodemographic characteristics. The study, which was designed as a descriptive and relationship-seeking field study, was conducted with 387 people living in the central district of Balıkesir, Altıeylül. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using the SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows 25.0 program. Descriptive statistical methods were used while evaluating the data. As the scales did not show normal distribution p0.05, it was one of the nonparametric tests; Mann Whitney U test was used to find the difference between two independent groups, and Kruskal Wallis analysis was used for comparisons of more than two independent groups. When a difference was found as a result of Kruskal Wallis analysis, the corrected Bonferroni was applied to find the group that made the difference. Spearman correlation was used to test the relationship between the scales. As a result of the study, the mean score of Turkeys health literacy scale was determined as 32.907.35, which is expressed as problematiclimited health literacy. The mean score of the rational drug use scale, on the other hand, was determined as 38.823.90, which is considered as having knowledge of rational drug use. It has been determined that there is no statistically significant relationship between individuals health literacy levels and sub-dimensions and rational drug use levels. These results can guide policy makers and other important stakeholders of the sector, namely practitioners and academics, to conduct further studies on the subject.

 Araştırmanın amacı, bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlığı ve akılcı ilaç kullanım düzeylerinin belirlenerek, aralarındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi ve sosyodemografik özelliklere göre değişimlerinin belirlenmesidir. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı bir saha araştırması olarak tasarlanan çalışma Balıkesir merkez Altıeylül ilçesinde yaşayan 387 kişi ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows 25.0 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Veriler değerlendirilirken tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metotlar kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler normal dağılım göstermediği p0,05 için nonparametrik testlerden; iki bağımsız grup arasındaki farkı bulmak için Mann Whitney U testi, ikiden fazla bağımsız grubun karşılaştırılmasında ise Kruskal Wallis testi uygulanmıştır. Kruskal Wallis testi sonucunda fark tespit edildiğinde, fark yaratan grubu bulmak için ise düzeltilmiş Bonferroni uygulanmıştır. Ayrıca ölçekler arasındaki ilişkiyi test etmek için Spearman korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, Türkiye sağlık okuryazarlık ölçeğinin ortalama puanı, sorunlusınırlı sağlık okuryazarlığı olarak ifade edilen 32,907,35 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Akılcı ilaç kullanımı ölçeğinin ortalama puanı ise akılcı ilaç kullanım bilgisine sahip olarak değerlendirilen 38,823,90 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyleri ve alt boyutları ile akılcı ilaç kullanım düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişkinin bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar politika yapıcılara ve sektörün diğer önemli paydaşları olan uygulayıcılar ve akademisyenlere konuya yönelik daha fazla çalışma yürütmeleri konusunda yön gösterici olabilir.
