Özet:

 Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between health literacy HLL levels and healthy lifestyle behaviors HBSB of vocational education center students. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 343 children studying in vocational education centers in a city center between April 1-30, 2024. Personal Information Form, Health Literacy Scale for School-Age Children HLSC and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II HRBS-II were used as data collection tools. Data were analyzed using descriptive mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage and analytical One-Way ANOVA, Independent T-test, Spearmans Correlation statistics. A statistical significance level of p0.05 was accepted. Results: In the analysis made according to the descriptive characteristics of the participants, significant differences were found between 10th and 12th grade students, income status, regular weighing, eating habits and health education in both scales p0.05. Participants with high levels of health literacy had higher scores on the SICBS, and as the level of health literacy increased, an increase was observed in sub-dimensions such as spiritual development, interpersonal relationships and stress management. Participants with moderate health literacy had significantly higher scores than those with low health literacy p0.001. In the regression analysis, it was found that the theoretical knowledge sub-dimension of the HLSS contributed positively to the total score of the HLSS p0.044. The model explains 13.1 of the change in the SFL score. Conclusion: This study revealed that health literacy level has positive effects on healthy lifestyle behaviors. It was observed that individuals with high health literacy had higher quality of life and healthier health behaviors. In addition, health education and regular health follow-up were found to contribute to individuals health literacy.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada mesleki eğitim merkezi öğrencilerinin sağlık okuryazarlığı SOY düzeyleri ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları SYBD arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki çalışma 1-30 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında bir il merkezindeki mesleki eğitim merkezlerinde öğrenim gören 343 çocuk ile yürütülmüştür. Veri toplama araçları olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Okul Çağındaki Çocuklar için Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği SOYÖ ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II SYBDÖ-II kullanılmıştır. Veriler; tanımlayıcı ortalama, standart sapma, frekans ve yüzde ve analitik One-Way ANOVA, İndependent T-test, Spearmans Correlation istatistikler kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi olarak p0.05 kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılanların  39,9u düşük, 53,6sı orta düzeyde SOYa sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir Katılımcıların tanımlayıcı özelliklerine göre yapılan analizde, 10. ve 12. sınıf öğrencileri, gelir durumu, düzenli tartılma, beslenme alışkanlıkları ve sağlık eğitimi durumları arasında her iki ölçekten anlamlı farklar bulunmuştur p0,05. Yüksek sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip katılımcıların SYBDÖ puanları daha yüksek olup, sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi arttıkça manevi gelişim, kişiler arası ilişkiler ve stres yönetimi gibi alt boyutlarda da artış gözlenmiştir. Orta düzeyde sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip katılımcılar, düşük okuryazarlık düzeyindekilerden anlamlı şekilde yüksek puanlar almıştır p0,001. Regresyon analizinde, SOYÖ teorik bilgi alt boyutunun SYBDÖ toplam puanına pozitif katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir p0,044. Model, SOYÖ puanındaki değişimin 13.1ini açıklamaktadır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları üzerinde olumlu etkiler yarattığını ortaya koymuştur. Yüksek sağlık okuryazarlığına sahip bireylerin, yaşam kalitelerinin daha yüksek ve sağlık davranışlarının daha sağlıklı olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, sağlık eğitimi ve düzenli sağlık takibinin, bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlığına katkı sağladığı bulunmuştur.
