{"title":"The Effect of Health Literacy Level on The Use of Primary Health Services in Adult Patients","authors":"Ömer Faruk Akpinar, Hüseyin Acar, S. Arıca","doi":"10.29228/ehlj.51944","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29228/ehlj.51944","url":null,"abstract":"Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine and evaluate the relationship between health attitudes, use of health services and health literacy levels of adult patients registered in the \"Hürriyet Educational Family Health Center\" where we provide primary health care services in our family medicine clinic. Methods: In our study, 242 patients admitted to the Hürriyet Education Family Health Center, aged between 18-80 years, underwent a two-stage questionnaire face-to-face. In the first part, the patients were asked questions on sociodemographic data as well as the use of primary health care services and their attitudes. In the second part, HL levels were determined using the TSOY-32 (Turkish Health Literacy Questionnaire-32) scale, which measures the HL levels of participants. Results: The total sample size was 242. Of the participants, 51.2% (n=124) were female and 48.8% (n=118) were male. The HL scores of the participants on the TSOY-32 were determined. The average score was calculated as 29.77±5.36. Inadaquate, problematic, sufficient and excellent health literacy levels were distributed as 13%, 64%, 22% and 1%, respectively. Health literacy scores of participants who applied to health institutions in acute or urgent situations were higher than those who applied only for prescription medicine. It was found that the mean scores of the group without any disease were higher than the group with one disease or the group with more than one disease. Evaluating primary health care service usage, it was determined that patients who were over 50 years old and gave a stool sample had a greater representation in the high HL group than those who did not. Likewise, women over 40 years who had mammography screening had a greater representation in the high HL group than those who did not. Looking at the aspect of cervical cancer screening tests, more women had a papsmear test in the high HL group than those who did not. Conclusions: Health literacy has an increasingly important place due to the increasing elderly population and the increasing number of patients with chronic diseases. Health literacy affects patient health attitudes on healthcare, outpatient appointments, family physician visits, usage of primary care services and cancer screening programs. All these subjects are important factors for improving the health of society. Family physicians should take great steps to improve the health literacy of their registered patients, since primary prevention starts with patient knowledge about health literacy.","PeriodicalId":432886,"journal":{"name":"European Health Literacy Journal","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121502474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Between February 2022 and April 2022, this study was conducted with participants who came to the Family Health Center in Bursa province. Volunteers were asked to fill out a sociodemographic data form and the Newest Vital Sign (NVS) Scale. Results: According to the results of our study, the NVS score was found to be lower for those who had been in a traffic accident. The NVS score of those who had a traffic accident was found to be low at all levels of education compared to those who had not had a traffic accident. As the level of education increased, NVS scores increased. Conclusions: At least one of the drivers is at fault in accidents that occur when two vehicles hit each other. It was observed that being involved in an accident in any way was associated with health literacy. The health literacy scale is a scale in which we evaluate the ability of people with NVS to understand what they are reading and to pay attention. Considering that drivers who have a good attention span, a high NVS score and drive more cautiously have less accidents, the education of individuals with low health literacy in traffic accident prevention may be recommended.","PeriodicalId":432886,"journal":{"name":"European Health Literacy Journal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126160817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
