Abstract

Background: Today, HEALTH LITERACY is a challenge for health care providers and health systems, and thus, must be considered in all aspects of health. This study aimed to determine the association between HEALTH LITERACY and HEALTH STATUS among the STAFF of Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2014.Methods: The participants of this analytical, cross-sectional study were selected through census method. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire with 3 sections; Demographic information form, HEALTH STATUS form, and HEALTH LITERACY for Iranian Adults (HELIA). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests in SPSS software.Findings: The HEALTH LITERACY of all STAFF (n= 186) was at a good and moderate level. In addition, 81 personnel (44.8%) reported their HEALTH STATUS as moderate. Significant statistical relationships were observed between HEALTH STATUS and marriage (P= 0.03) and economic status (P< 0.001), and between HEALTH LITERACY and education (P= 0.034) and insurance status (P= 0.044). However, no significant relationship was observed between HEALTH LITERACY and HEALTH STATUS.Conclusion: The HEALTH LITERACY of all personnel was good and moderate and the most important factors related to HEALTH LITERACY were education and insurance coverage. Therefore, attention to these variables may have an important role in promoting the HEALTH LITERACY of personnel. It is suggested that special attention be paid to maintaining and improving HEALTH LITERACY in personnel through educational planning by the health care system to ultimately improve public health and the quality of their services.
