健康素养（HL）是一个涉及个人、卫生系统和卫生专业人员的概念。本研究旨在确定护生的健康素养及其影响因素。使用描述性横截面设计。该研究包括一年级和四年级护理学生 (n = 303)。使用问卷和成人健康素养量表来收集数据。大多数学生（84.8%）是女性，其中 60.4% 正在一年级学习。实习护士的成人健康素养量表平均得分为 15.9 +/- 3.2。有健康保险、患有慢性病、经常吸毒和阅读困难的四年级护生的成人健康素养量表平均得分较高（p < 0.05）。尽管本研究表明护生的 HL 水平被认为是足够的，但人们认为在本科教育中获得的 HL 水平越高，护理人员的能力就越强。应将HL理念融入护理课程中，提高护生的HL水平。护士教育工作者应在课程中强调健康素养和患者赋权的重要性。
Health literacy (HL) is a concept that concerns individuals, as well as health systems and health professionals. This study was conducted to determine health literacy and affecting factors of nursing students. A descriptive-cross sectional design was used. First and fourth year nursing students were included in the study (n = 303). A questionnaire and the Adult Health Literacy Scale were used for collection of the data. Most (84.8%) of the students were female and 60.4% were studying in their first year. The mean Adult Health Literacy Scale score of the student nurses was 15.9 +/- 3.2. The fourth year nursing students who have health insurance, have chronic disease, use drugs regularly, and have difficulties in reading had higher mean Adult Health Literacy Scale scores (p < 0.05). Although this study indicates that the HL level of the nursing students was found as adequate, it is thought that the higher HL level acquired in the undergraduate education the more competent nursing work-force. The HL concept should be integrated into the nursing curriculum to improve the HL levels of the nursing students. Nurse educators should emphasize the importance of health literacy and patient empowerment in the curriculum.
