Yöntem:Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırma kapsamına bir VakıfÜniversitesi ve Devlet Hastanesinin dahiliye polikliniklerine başvuran toplam688 hasta alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında, sağlıkokuryazarlığını değerlendirmeye yönelik soru formu, Genel Sağlık Anketi, eğitimmateryallerinin okuryazarlık yönünden uygunluğu için “Yazılı MateryallerinUygunluğunun Değerlendirilmesi” formu ve materyallerin güvenirlik ve bilgikalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde Tüketici Sağlığı Bilgileri için KaliteKriterleri (DISCERN) ölçüm aracı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması46.21±15.76, %72.2 ‘si evli ve %67.6 kadın, %44.8&#039;i çalışmıyor ve %33’ünün geliri giderinden azdır. Hastaların %40.2’sininokuma düzeyini kötü/çok kötü olarak değerlendirdiği, %52.5’inin bilgisayar ve 1/3’ününsağlıkla ilgili bilgilere ulaşmak için internet kullandığı, çoğunluğunun okumave yazma ile ilgili aktivitelerde yardım aldığı saptanmıştır. Hastaların %68.9’ununtanı konulmuş bir hastalığı olduğu, %67.7’sinin en az 1 defa hastanede yattığı,çoğunluğunun ilaç kullandığı ve %56.1’ine yazılı bir eğitim materyali verildiğibelirlenmiştir. Hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili durumlara yönelikaktivite puan ortalamaları genel olarak yüksektir. Eğitim düzeyi düşük, geliriaz olan, sağlık düzeyi kötü/çokkötü olan ve yüksek riskli hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı puanlarının dahadüşük olduğu belirlenmiştir(p&amp;lt;0.05). İncelenen yazılı eğitim materyalinden%40’ının uygun olmadığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç:Genel sağlık durumu kötü, eğitim düzeyi ve okuma yazma becerisi düşük, 60 yaşve üstü hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı yönünden riskli grupta olduğubelirlenmiştir. Bu hastaların sağlık okuryazarlığı yönünden desteklenmesi veeğitim materyallerinin tekrar gözden geçirilmesi önerilebilir.</p></abstract>
