Results: Result of the regression analysis showed, there was a positive moderate significant correlation between the mean total scores of the purpose of social media use (β =.60, p <.001) and health literacy there was a positive moderate significant correlation between self-directed learning with technology (β =.58, p <.001) and health literacy. The health literacy of the students was mostly affected from the mean total scores of the purpose of social media use and the self-directed learning with technology, respectively. It was found that 46% (F = 215.872, p < .001) of the factors affecting the health literacy in the overall model could be accounted by the purpose of social media use and self-directed learning with technology.

Çocuklarda Sosyal Medya Kullanım Amaçları ve Teknoloji ile Kendi Kendine Öğrenmenin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Giriş: Sağlık okuryazarlığı; yeni bilgiler elde etmeye, daha pozitif tutumlara, daha fazla öz yetkinliğe, olumlu sağlık davranışlarına ve daha iyi sağlık sonuçlarına ulaşmak için bir yol olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalar sosyal medya kullanım amacı ve teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenme çocukların sağlık okur-yazarlığını etkilediğini vurgulamaktadır. Amaç: Bu çalışma öğrencilerin sosyal medya kullanım amaçları ve teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenmelerinin sağlık okuryazarlığına etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma Türkiye’nin Ege bölgesinde yer alan iki ayrı ortaokulda 507 öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak “Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu”, “Sosyal Medya Kullanım Amaçları Ölçeği”, “Çocuklar İçin Teknolojiyle Kendi Kendine Öğrenme Ölçeği” ve “Okul Çağındaki Çocuklar İçin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Regresyon analizi sonucunda, çocukların sosyal medya kullanım amacı toplam puan ortalamaları ve sağlık okur-yazarlığı arasında pozitif orta derecede anlamlı bir ilişki (β = .60, p <.001), teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenme ve sağlık okur yazarlığı arasında pozitif orta derecede anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmuştur (β = .58, p < .001). Öğrencilerin sağlık okur-yazarlığını sırasıyla en çok sosyal medya kullanım amaçları ve teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenme toplam puan ortalamalarının etkilediği saptanmıştır. Modelin genelinde sağlık okuryazarlığını etkileyen faktörlerin %46’sının (F= 92.915, p <.001) sosyal medya kullanım amaçları ve teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenme ile açıklandığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çocukların sağlık okuryazarlığı ile sosyal medya kullanım amaçları ve teknoloji ile kendi kendine öğrenme arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir.
