This study was aimed at determining university students’ health literacy levels and the effects of their health literacy on their knowledge of, and attitudes and behaviors towards skin cancer prevention strategies. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study included 800 university students in the Aegean Region of Turkey. The data were collected by the researchers between March 01, 2019 and March 30, 2019. The research data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form including 3 parts (the Participants' Socio-Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire, Information-AttitudeBehavior Questionnaire, Risk Factors Questionnaire) and the "Turkish Health Literacy Scale". The association between the sociodemographic characteristics of the students and their scores for protective behavior, knowledge levels and risk factors and Health Literacy was analyzed using the linear regression model (the ‘Enter’ method). The relationship between health literacy and knowledge/ attitude / behavior scores was evaluated with the Pearson’s correlation. p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the participating students was 21.0 ± 1.8 (18-36) years. Of them, 63.8% were women. The study results demonstrated that the participating university students’ knowledge levels regarding the harmful effects of sunshine and skin cancer prevention were inadequate. There is a positive correlation between health literacy and sun protection attitudes and behaviors. Of the participating students, those whose health literacy levels were high and those who had high knowledge / attitude scores about sun protection displayed better sun protection behaviors (p<0.05). Conclusion: A significant result of the study was that health literacy should be improved in order to improve sun protection and skin cancer prevention strategies. © 2020, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.

    Discrimination from Women’s Health
    (Turkish Medical Association, 2020) Özpinar, Saliha
    Gender-based discrimination against women is a major human rights violation and hinders women’s participation in the political, social, economic and cultural life as well as with men. Gender-based inequality is the most common form of social inequality. This is because gender inequality exists together with all other forms such as class, caste, race and ethnicity. While inequalities against women related to reproductive health problems due to biological differences go on through life; as a result of income-class effects which is important social determinants of health, inequalities negatively affects women’s life in a wider context, including woman’s right to health and the right to life. Further, social gender discrimination is an important factor affecting women’s health and social health in terms of women’s health. In this article, gender-based discrimination components and their effects on women’s health are evaluated. © 2020, Turkish Medical Association. All rights reserved.

The population of the cross-sectional study consists of teachers working in the Ayvacık district of Samsun province in the 2022-2023 academic year (N=301). The sample of the study was determined to be 183, with a 95% confidence interval and a 5% margin of error. The study data were collected between 15.07.2023 and 15.08.2023. Three forms were used in data collection, and these were personal information form, e-health literacy scale and cyberchondria severity scale short form (CCS-12). In the study, 56.1% of the participants were female, 65% were between the ages of 30-39, and 48% had been working for 1-9 years. The mean score of e-health literacy was 3.69±0.80, and the mean score of cyberchondria severity was 32.08±7.98. In the study, a statistically significant difference was found between age and marital status in both e-health literacy and cyberchondria severity. In addition, a positive low-level relationship was determined between e-health literacy and cyberchondria severity (p<0.001, r=,158). As a result, age and marital status affect e-health literacy and cyberchondria severity. In addition, cyberchondria severity increases as e-health literacy increases. © 2023 Interciencia Association.
