Summary

Health literacy (HL) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "the achievement of a level of knowledge, personal skills, and confidence to take action to improve individual and community health by changing personal lifestyles and living conditions". Health literacy is described as a concept encompassing various skills that enhance individuals' quality of life, such as accessing accurate health information, developing healthy living behaviours, utilizing healthcare services, and making health-related decisions. To improve the health literacy of society, it is essential first to identify and enhance the health literacy of families, the smallest unit of the community. Adult family members are responsible for their health and play a critical role in fostering healthy behaviours in their children and addressing their health needs.

Aim: Health screenings, particularly for the early diagnosis of health issues in children, are crucial for health preservation and the creation of a healthy society in the future. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the health literacy of parents and its impact on the health screening results of students.
