TOPLUMUN SAĞLIK OKURYAZARLIK DÜZEYİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Öz Sağlık okuryazarlığı; kiĢilerin sağlık hizmetleri, hastalıkların önlenmesi ve sağlığın geliĢtirilmesi hakkında hedefler belirlerken ve birtakım kararlar alırken sağlık bilgilerine eriĢme, anlama, değerlendirme ve uygulamaya yönelik bilgilerini ve yeterliliklerini ifade etmektedir. BaĢka bir ifade ile sağlık okuryazarlığı temel olarak; bir hastaya tıbbi bir bilgi vermek istenildiğinde, bireyin bu bilgiyi anlayıp, yorumlaması ve buna uygun davranıĢ göstermesi olarak tanımlanabilir Bu açıdan sağlık okuryazarlığı, toplumun sağlık statüsünde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalıĢmada bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıĢ olup araĢtırmanın evrenini Isparta il merkezinde 15 yaĢ ve üzerindeki bireyler oluĢturmaktadır. AraĢtırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle 401 kiĢiye ulaĢılmıĢtır. AraĢtırmada 2 bölümden oluĢan veri toplama aracı kullanılmıĢtır. Veri toplama aracının birinci bölümünde Türkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlık Ölçeği (TSOY-32), ikinci bölümünde demografik bilgiler yer almaktadır. AraĢtırma sonuçlarına göre sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi sınırlı sorunlu olarak tespit edilmiĢ; yaĢ arttıkça sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin azaldığı, eğitim düzeyi ile ise doğru orantılı olarak arttığı belirlenmiĢtir. ÇalıĢma kapsamında cinsiyet ve gelir ile sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyi arasında anlamlı bir iliĢki bulunmamıĢtır. Bu çalıĢmada toplumun sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin belirlenmesi araĢtırılmıĢtır. Isparta il merkezinde yaĢayan 15 yaĢ üstü okuryazar ve son 1 yıl içerisinde en az 4 defa sağlık kuruluĢuna baĢvuran kiĢilere sağlık okuryazarlığı ve demografik değiĢkenlerden oluĢan bir anket form yöneltilmiĢ; toplanan veriler değerlendirilmiĢtir.
