Abstract

This study aimed to examine the factors related to the level of health literacy of individuals with chronic disease and their effects on adaptation to chronic disease. This cross-sectional-relationship-seeking study was open to all individuals with chronic disease Data were collected between February 3 and April 4, 2021, via online surveys created via Google Forms. Participants were invited to the research from social media platforms. The study sample consisted of 171 people who could read and write in Turkish, were 18 years of age and older, had at least one chronic disease, and volunteered to participate. Data were collected using the patient information form, health literacy scale, and adaptation to chronic diseases scale. It was determined that the average score of the participants' adaptation to chronic disease differs according to the variables of education, occupation and income status, and the level of health literacy differs according to the variables of age, marital status, education, occupation and income status. The patient's age, income status and health literacy level explained 37,8% of the variance in adaptation to chronic disease. In addition, the study determined that the level of health literacy was related to factors such as age, marital status, occupation, education and income status, and health literacy was significantly effective in adapting patients to chronic disease.

Özet

Bu çalışmada kronik hastalığa sahip bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi ile ilişkili faktörlerin ve bunların kronik hastalığa uyum üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel-ilişki arayıcı tipteki bu araştırma kronik hastalığı olan tüm bireylere açık olarak yapılmıştır. Veriler; Google Formlar aracılığıyla oluşturulan çevrimiçi anketler yolu ile 3 Şubat- 4 Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Katılımcılar araştırmaya sosyal medya platformlarından davet edilmiştir. Araştırmaya Türkçe okuyup yazabilen, 18 yaş ve üstü, en az bir kronik hastalığı olan ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 171 kişi dahil edilmiştir. Veriler hasta bilgi formu, sağlık okuryazarlığı ölçeği ve kronik hastalıklara uyum ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların kronik hastalığa uyum puan ortalamalarının eğitim, meslek ve gelir durumu değişkenlerine, sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeylerinin ise yaş, medeni durum, eğitim, meslek ve gelir durumu değişkenlerine göre farklılıklar gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Hastaların yaş, gelir durumu ve sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin kronik hastalığa uyumdaki varyansın %37,8’ini açıklamıştır. Çalışmada, sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin yaş, medeni durum, meslek, eğitim ve gelir durumu gibi faktörle ilişkili olduğunu ve sağlık okuryazarlığının hastaların kronik hastalığa uyumunda önemli düzeyde etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.
