Effect of nursing students’ health literacy level on their knowledge and attitude toward epilepsy
Özet
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nursing students’ health literacy level on their epilepsy knowledge and attitude. METHODS: Descriptive and cross-sectional study data were collected using a descriptive characteristics form, Epilepsy Knowledge Scale, Epilepsy Attitude Scale, and European Health Literacy Scale-Turkish adaptation. RESULTS: The mean Epilepsy Knowledge Scale and Epilepsy Attitude Scale scores were moderate, and the mean European Health Literacy Scale-Turkish adaptation score was adequate. The health literacy level significantly explained participants’ epilepsy knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: Epilepsy knowledge levels among nurses are intermediate, which reveals the fact that the nursing education curriculum should be revised. It is suggested that courses on health literacy impacting the level of knowledge and attitude toward epilepsy be added to the nursing education curriculum.
