The Relationship of Occupational Health and Safety Perceived Competence with Health Literacy in Health Technician Candidates

Abstract

It was found that the participants received an average score of 93.02±21.53 from the Occupational Health and Safety Perceived Competence scale and an average score of 34.89±8.26 from the health literacy scale. No significant difference was found between occupational health and safety perceived competence scores according to gender, marital status, income level, health institution consulted and occupational accident history. A significant relationship was found between age groups, health level perceptions, occupational health and safety training and health literacy training. No statistically significant difference was found between health literacy scores according to age groups, marital status, income level, health level perceptions, health institution applied, health literacy training status and occupational accident history. A statistically significant difference was found according to the participants' gender and occupational health and safety training status. A statistically significant relationship (r= 0.260; p=0.001) was found between the participants' occupational health and safety perceived competence scores and health literacy scores.
