Community Behavior and Health Literacy in Outbreaks

Abstract

In outbreaks, human behavioral responses have been shown to affect social outcomes. For emergency intervention, it is important to integrate approaches and interventions based on public science. The perception and implementation of interventions by the community is closely related to the level of health literacy of individuals. In this review, individual behavior models and effective factors were examined in outbreaks. During the epidemic, the effect of health literacy was mentioned in the success of crisis communication.

Salgınlarda Toplum Davranışı ve Sağlık Okuryazarlığı

Abstract

Salgınlarda, insanların davranışsal tepkilerinin toplumsal sonuçları etkilediği görülmüştür. Acil müdahale için toplum bilimlerine dayalı yaklaşımları ve müdahaleleri entegre etmek önemlidir. Müdahalelerin toplum tarafından algılanması ve uygulanması ise bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi ile yakından ilişkilidir. Bu derlemede salgınlarda birey davranış modelleri ve etkili faktörler incelenmiştir. Salgın esnasında uygulana kriz iletişiminin başarısında sağlık okuryazarlığının etkisine değinilmiştir.
