Özet:

 Todays prominent and effectively used technologies require literacy skills to be addressed not only through the acts of writing and reading, but also through a new network of relationships. The fact that new communication technologies have taken place in our lives has enabled the concept of literacy to find a response in the digital field and the concept of new media literacy to be formed. The aim of this study is to describe the new media literacy skills of those working in the health sector. The study data were analyzed by screening method, which is one of the quantitative research types. The study sample consists of 351 healthcare professionals determined by simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using the new media literacy scale. T test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U Test were used in the analysis of the data. According to the results, the functional consumption and critical consumption sub-dimensions of the employees are high, and the functional production and critical production sub-dimensions are at a medium level across the entire scale. The new media literacy of employees differs statistically significantly in favor of women according to gender, in favor of associate and bachelors degree graduates according to education level, in favor of those who use digital media for 6-10 hours per day according to the duration of use, and in favor of groups that use it at home and when they cannot sleep according to the place of use. No significant difference was found in the new media literacy of employees according to their monthly income.

 Günümüzde öne çıkan ve etkin olarak kullanılan teknolojiler, okuryazarlık becerisinin sadece yazma ve okuma eylemleriyle değil aynı zamanda yeni ilişkiler ağıyla da ele alınmasını gerektirmektedir. Yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin hayatımızda yer edinmesi, okuryazarlık kavramının dijital alanda karşılık bulmasını ve yeni medya okuryazarlığı kavramının oluşmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık sektöründe çalışanların yeni medya okuryazarlığı becerilerini betimlemektir. Çalışma verileri, nicel araştırma türlerinden tarama yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma örneklemini basit seçkisiz örneklem tekniği ile belirlenen 351 sağlık çalışanı oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, yeni medya okuryazarlık ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde T testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U testleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, sağlık çalışanlarının fonksiyonel tüketim ve eleştirel tüketim alt boyut düzeyleri yüksek, fonksiyonel üretim ve eleştirel üretim alt boyutları ise ölçeğin tamamında orta düzeydedir. Çalışanların yeni medya okuryazarlıkları cinsiyetlere göre kadınların lehine, eğitim durumlarına göre ön lisans ve lisans mezunlarının lehine, dijital medyayı kullanım süresine göre günlük 6-10 saat kullananların lehine ve kullanım yerine göre evde ve uyuyamadığında kullanan gruplar lehine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanların aylık gelirlerine göre yeni medya okuryazarlıklarında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir.
