ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışma, ergenlerin e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışmanın evrenini 2016-2017 yılında Balıkesir ilinde öğrenim gören 17722 ortaöğretim öğrencisi oluşturmuş, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 553 öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, e-Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Bulguların değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik, t testi ve varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırma kapsamına alınan öğrencilerin %55,5'i 16 yaş ve üstü grubunda olup, %53,5'i erkek öğrencidir. Öğrencilerin %40,1'i günde 3 saatten fazla internet kullandığını, %57,3'ü interneti sohbet ve sosyal iletişim amacıyla kullandığını, %39,4 ve %7,1 olmak üzere toplamda %46,5'i internet sağlık kaynaklarına erişimin önemli/çok önemli bulduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin e-sağlık okuryazarlığı puan ortalaması 25,98±0,27, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları puan ortalamaları ise 127,26±0,93'tür. Son bir haftada internette sağlık kaynaklarına erişimi, sağlığı hakkında karar vermede internetin yararlılığı ile internet sağlık kaynaklarına erişimin önemine ilişkin düşüncelerine göre, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve e-sağlık okuryazarlığı puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farklılık göstermektedir. E-sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları beceri puan ortalamalarının son bir haftada internette sağlık kaynaklarına erişen, sağlığı hakkında karar vermede internetin yararlı/ çok yararlı olduğunu ve internet sağlık kaynaklarına erişimin önemli/çok önemli olduğunu düşünen ergenlerde yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışma sonunda ergenlerde e-sağlık okuryazarlığı ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyin biraz üzerinde olduğu, ancak yüksek düzeyde olmadığı saptanmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: e-sağlık okuryazarlığı, sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları, ergen ABSTRACT Objective: This study was conducted to determine the levels of e-health literacy and healthy lifestyle behaviors of adolescents.Method: The study population of this descriptive study consisted of 17722 high school students who were educated in Balıkesir province in 2016-2017 and 553 students who accepted to participate in the research were reached. Data were collected through Personal Information Form, e-Health Literacy Scale and Healthy Life Style Behavior Scale. Percentile, t-test and variance analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: More than half (55.5%) of the students included in the survey were in the group of 16 years old and over, and 53.5% of them were male students. While 40.1% of the students indicated that they were using internet more than 3 hours a day, and 57.3% of them stated that they were using internet with the intention to chat, and for social communication The 46.5% of the respondents (39.4, and 7.1%, respectively) said that access to health resources on internet was important/very import...

Objective This study aimed to determine preoperative anxiety levels, their associated factors, and the relationship between health literacy and preoperative anxiety in adult patients undergoing elective surgery. Materials and Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary hospital between December 21, 2021, and June 20, 2022, and included 466 adult patients. Participants were administered the demographic data and basic health status form, Health Literacy Scale (HLS), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The participants’ mean BAI score was low to moderate (9.28±10.85). The total HLS score was 105.89±24.42. For the BAI, a negative correlation was found between the access to information sub-dimensions of the HLS and BAI (p=0.043, r=−0.094). In addition, a negative correlation was detected between patients’ age and HLS and its sub-dimensions (p<0.001, respectively [r=−0.188, r=−0.193, r=−0.205, r=−0.161]), and a positive correlation was observed among the HLS sub-dimensions (p<0.001, respectively [r=0.873, r=0.057, r=0.966, r=0.915]). Higher HLS and sub-dimension averages were observed in single, high school, university graduates, and civil servant participants. In addition, higher BAI averages were detected in females, homemakers, urban residents, participants living only with their children, and those with additional diseases (respectively, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.007, p=0.0034, p<0.01). Conclusion As the level of health literacy increased, preoperative anxiety levels decreased. Preoperative assessment and education are fundamental to perioperative patient care, particularly in the surgical setting.

Health literacy is defined as social policy. This study aims to determine the health literacy level of Syrian immigrants living in Elazig, Turkey and its relevant factors and to predict it with artificial intelligence methods. The minimum sample size was calculated as 373 by using the Epi Info program. The questionnaire included socio-demographic information and the health literacy scale (HLS) EU-16. Means were presented with standard deviation (mean±SD), and p<0.05. was considered statistically significant. Besides performance evaluation, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Decision Tree (DT), Extreme Learning Machines (ELM), and Autoencoder Regression (AR) were used to estimate the HLS score. The mean age of 404 Syrian immigrants who participated in the study was 32.64±10.97 years. They had been in Turkey for an average of 5.00±2.267 years. The mean total HLS score was 51.55±12.915. The HLS value of the Syrian immigrants was calculated using four different regression methods based on machine learning according to three basic criteria (Age, Duration of Stay in Turkey, and Monthly Income). Autoencoder, ELM, and DT regression methods indicated that the average estimation success was above 91% according to the R2 performance criterion, and the highest success rate of 98% was achieved with the autoencoder method.
