Abstract

Health literacy is defined as the ability to access, understand, assess, and apply health-related information and services for the protection and maintenance of health. Low health literacy is a widespread problem in many communities. Although various interventions to improve health literacy have shown effectiveness, there is a notable absence of a multi-stakeholder approach addressing health literacy. The aim of this study was to develop a inclusive and holistic model that incorporates multiple components to address community health literacy. The Health Literacy Spider Model was developed using a holistic approach that combined expert opinion, literature review, and modelling to improved health literacy. The model is an inclusive, evidence-based framework that identifies intervention components aimed at ensuring accessibility for everyone across education, research, and practice. The model’s purpose is to create a new health literacy framework that can be implemented in schools, hospitals, and broader public health settings. Accordingly, eight components were defined within the model: traditional media, universities, health services, non-governmental organizations, local governments, digital, primary and secondary education, and policy-makers. The Health Literacy Spider Model offers an innovative, collaborative, participatory, and supportive approach to improving individual and community health literacy. Grounded in a strong theoretical basis and focused on health literacy initiatives accessible to all, the model can be used to guide education, research, practice, and policy development.

Özet

Sağlık okuryazarlığı, sağlığın korunması ve sürdürülmesi için sağlık ile ilgili bilgilere ve hizmetlere erişebilme, erişilen bilgileri anlayabilme, değerlendirebilme ve kullanabilme becerisi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Düşük sağlık okuryazarlığı toplumlarda yaygın bir sorundur. Sağlık okuryazarlığını geliştirmeye yönelik çeşitli müdahalelerin etkinliği ortaya konulmuş olsa da sağlık okuryazarlığını ele alan çok paydaşlı bir yaklaşım eksikliği dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplumun sağlık okuryazarlığını ele almak için farklı bileşenleri içeren bütüncül ve kapsayıcı bir model geliştirilmesidir. Sağlık okuryazarlığını geliştirmeye yönelik uzman görüşleri, literatür incelemeleri, modelleme ile bütüncül bir yaklaşımdan yararlanılarak Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Örümcek Modeli geliştirildi. Model bilimsel bilgiye dayanan, eğitim, araştırma ve uygulamaya yönelik herkes için erişilebilirliği hedefleyen müdahale alanları sunan kapsayıcı bir yapıdadır. Modelin amacı okul, hastane ve tüm halk sağlığı ortamlarında uygulanabilecek yeni bir sağlık okuryazarlığı çerçevesi geliştirmektir. Bu doğrultuda modelde; geleneksel medya, üniversiteler, sağlık hizmetleri, sivil toplum kuruluşları, yerel yönetimler, dijital, ilk-orta öğretim ve politika yapıcılar olmak üzere sekiz bileşen belirlendi. Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Örümcek Modeli, bireylerin ve toplumun sağlık okuryazarlığını geliştirmede yenilikçi, iş birlikçi, katılımcı, destekleyici bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Herkes için erişilebilir sağlık okuryazarlığı girişimlerine odaklan ve güçlü bir teorik temele dayanan model, eğitim, araştırma, uygulama ve politika geliştirmede kullanılabilir.
