Health literacy is generally affected by many factors, from demographic, cultural and psychosocial factors, general literacy level, individual characteristics, experiences related to the disease, and factors related to the healthcare system. It is stated that the evidence supporting the negative effects on the health of individuals is increasing due to the lack of health literacy.
These effects; Low use of preventive healthcare services are shown as delay in seeking health care in the symptomatic period, inability to understand the medical condition of the individual, inability to adhere to medical advice / instructions, insufficient self-care, increase in health care costs and increase in mortality.
In terms of health, health literacy is a stronger determinant than income, employment status, education level, race or ethnic group . The strong place of the concept of health literacy among the main determinants of health appears to be an important factor in the struggle for inequality in health. It is stated that adoption of lifelong learning policies to increase health literacy has important effects .
