目标：巴勒斯坦人长期遭受暴力，这对健康状况有负面影响。人们越来越多地利用健康素养来加强人们对自己健康的控制。这项定性研究探讨了青少年、家长和教师对巴勒斯坦青少年的重要健康相关问题的看法，作为开发对巴勒斯坦社会背景敏感的健康素养工具的初步步骤。方法：我们对拉马拉地区的青少年、教师和家长进行了₂₂半结构式访谈，访谈时间为1月至2月₂₀₁₇。性别和地域差异也被考虑在内。结果：巴勒斯坦青少年需要获取更广泛的健康问题信息，包括生殖健康、生活方式、个人卫生、环境健康和心理健康。一些青少年将暴力与健康状况联系起来。许多参与者认为青少年搜索健康信息的意愿是一项挑战，访谈揭示了青少年的各种健康信息来源。健康信息的主要来源是母亲、朋友、学校和互联网等。结论：巴勒斯坦青少年对提高健康素养的需求很高。增强他们的健康素养能力对于减轻长期接触暴力对健康的负面影响可能至关重要。背景敏感的健康素养工具可以帮助开展新的研究，以了解巴勒斯坦青少年健康素养的预测因素。
Objective: Palestinians are exposed to chronic violence, which has a negative impact on health status. Health literacy is increasingly employed to increase people's control over their health. This qualitative research explored adolescents', parents' and teachers' views regarding important health-related issues to Palestinian adolescents, as a preliminary step to develop a health literacy tool sensitive to the Palestinian social context. Methods: We conducted ₂₂ semi-structured interviews with adolescents, teachers and parents in the Ramallah Governorate between January and February ₂₀₁₇. Sex and locality variations were taken into consideration. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze interviews and retrieve the main categories of healthrelated issues that are important to adolescents.Results: Palestinian adolescents need to access information covering a wider range of health issues including reproductive health, lifestyle, personal hygiene, environmental health and mental health. Some of the adolescents linked violence to health status. Many of the participants identified adolescents' willingness to search for health information as a challenge and interviews revealed various health information sources for adolescents. The main sources of health information were mothers, friends, school and the internet among others. Conclusion: Needs are high for Palestinian adolescents to improve their health literacy. Empowering them with health literacy competencies may be vital for alleviating the negative health impact of chronic exposure to violence. A context sensitive health literacy instrument can help conduct new research for understanding predictors of Palestinian adolescent health literacy.
