Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, bireylerin sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerini etkileyen faktörlerin, onların akılcı ilaç kullanım düzeylerini etkileyen faktörler üzerindeki etkisini yol analizi ile tespit etmek ve yol katsayılarını önemlilik derecesine göre ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini Sakarya il merkezlerinde faaliyet gösteren eczanelerden sağlık hizmeti alan hasta ve hasta yakınları oluşturdu. Toplum temelli kesitsel araştırma tasarımı uygulandı. Araştırma verilerine frekans analizleri, açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve yol analizi teknikleri uygulandı. Verilerin analizinde IBM SPSS 23 V ve AMOS paket programları kullanıldı. Fonksiyonel sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyleri, bireylerin; doğru ilaç kullanımını, etkili ilaç kullanımını ve güvenli ilaç kullanımı anlamlı ve pozitif şekilde etkilemiştir. Bunun yanısıra, iletişimsel sağlık okuryazarlık düzeylerinin, bireylerin; doğru ilaç kullanımı, etkili ilaç kullanımı ve güvenli ilaç kullanımı düzeylerini anlamlı ve negatif şekilde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırmada, toplumun sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyinin yükseltilmesine yönelik eğitim ve bilgilendirme programlarının sağlanması ve doğru akılcı ilaç kullanımı konusunda farkındalık oluşturulması önerilmektedir.
