Abstract (3222 Views)
Aims: Health literacy is skills and abilities in the acquisition and access of medical and health information, understanding such information, processing and interpretation of the information, and decision-making and use of updated information. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health literacy and lifestyle in the families of veterans and families of non-veterans and assess and compare their lifestyles.
Instrument & Methods: 1770 members of the families of veterans and non-veterans from five provinces in Iran were selected through a systematic sampling method to participate in a descriptive cross-sectional study in 2019. Lifestyle Questionnaire and All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale were used to collect the necessary data. Pearson Correlation and t-test statistics were run using SPSS 24 for the analysis of the data.
Findings: There was a positive and significant correlation between veterans' health literacy and the lifestyle of veterans and non-veterans families (veterans: r=0.330, p<0.001; non-veterans: r=0.321, p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the lifestyle mean scores for men and women in the two groups of veterans and non-veterans (p>0.05).
Conclusion: There is a correlation between health literacy and the lifestyle in veterans- and non-veterans families, while there is no difference between the lifestyles in the two groups.
