Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to make the adaptation of the Functional Health Literacy in Turkish Adults (TOFHLA) in patients with cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: Data collection form consisted of questions on socio-demographic-health related characteristics (31 items), verbal (30 items) and numeral (15 items) parts of TOFHLA. Computation was made out of 50. Data collection form was applied to the cardiology outpatient clinic applicants with face to face interview technique by the researcher (EU). Results: The mean verbal and numerical competency scores were 41.67 and 43.33, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the verbal and numerical competency scores was r=0.48 (p0.05, age and numeral score r=-0.02, p>0.05, age and total score r=-0.01, p>0.05. Statistically significant differences were found between verbal, numeral and total scores of the education groups. It was found that the scores increased in parallel with the increased educational degree. Nuclear families had the highest scores. Conclusion: In terms of public health, to design and implement studies on a national scale in a broad context and to study the factors affecting the health literacy levels of different segments of society seem important.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı Türk Yetişkinlerde İşlevsel Sağlık Okuryazarlığının (TOFHLA) kardiyovasküler hastalarda adaptasyonunu sağlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Veri toplama formu TOFHLA’nın sosyo-demografik sağlıkla ilgili özelliklerini (31 soru), sözel (30 soru) ve sayısal (15 soru) bölümlerini içermektedir. Hesaplama 50 puan üzerinden yapılmıştır. Araştırmacı (EU) tarafından yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile kardiyoloji polikliniğine başvuran bireylere veri toplama formu uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Ortalama sözel ve sayısal yeterlilik puanları sırasıyla 41,67 ve 43,33’tü. Sözel ve sayısal yeterlik puanları arasındaki korelasyon anlamlı olarak bulundu (r=0,48, p0,05, yaş ve sayısal puan için r=-0,02, p>0,05, yaş ve toplam puan için r=-0,01, p>0,05 olarak bulundu. Eğitim gruplarının sözel, sayısal ve toplam puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Eğitim derecesinin artmasıyla skorların arttığı belirlenmiştir. Çekirdek aileler en yüksek puanları aldı. Sonuç: Halk sağlığı açısından, geniş bir bağlamda ulusal ölçekte çalışmalar tasarlamak ve uygulamak ve toplumun farklı kesimlerinin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerini etkileyen faktörleri incelemek önemli görünmektedir.
