It is important to consider the level of health literacy in evaluating individuals in health-relatedmatters. This study was conducted to determine the level of health literacy of the academic staffworking at non-health schools in Kayseri Erciyes University and the affecting factors. This descriptiveand cross-sectional study was conducted on 690 academicians with “European Health Literacy ScaleTurkish Version” (HLS-TR). 28.8% of the research group has sufficient level of health literacy and28.8±8.4 average score. The sufficient health literacy level is higher in women, married ones, the oneshaving no chronical diseases and research assistants. In logistic regression analysis, the sufficient HLlevel of those married to a health worker is 1.8 times higher when compared to those who are notmarried to a health worker. The sufficient HL level of those who are considered as healthy is 1.72times higher than those who are considered to have bad health.

Öz:

Sağlıkla ilgili konularda bireyi değerlendirmede sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin göz önünde bulundurulması önemlidir. Bu çalışma, Kayseri Erciyes üniversitesi sağlık dışı okullarda görev yapan akademik personelin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyini ve etkileyen etmenleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışmada "Avrupa Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği Türkçe Uyarlaması" (ASOY-TR) ölçeğiyle 690 akademisyen üzerinde yapıldı. Araştırma grubunun %28,8`i yeterli sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinde ve 28,8±8,4 puan ortalamasındadır. Yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi; kadınlarda, evlilerde, kronik hastalığı bulunmayanlarda ve araştırma görevlilerinde daha yüksektir. Lojistik regresyon analizinde, yeterli SOY düzeyi; eşi sağlık çalışanı olanlarda, eşi sağlık çalışanı olmayanlara göre 1,86 kat, sağlık durumunu iyi olarak değerlendirenlerde, kötü olarak değerlendirenlere göre 1,72 kat daha yüksektir. Sağlık okuryazarlığının düzeyinin artırılması için devlet, eğitim sistemi, üniversite, sağlık sistemi ve medyanın birlikte olduğu çok disiplinli sağlık eğitimi projeleri yapılmalıdır.
