Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate the relationship between health literacy, physical activity, back pain, and posture habits among university students. The Health Literacy Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Posture Habits Questionnaire for Back Health in Daily Activities will be used to collect data from participants. Health literacy will be assessed in terms of individuals' ability to access, understand, and apply health-related information, while physical activity levels and posture habits will be examined for their influence on back pain. The findings are expected to shed light on the role of health literacy in promoting healthier physical activity and posture habits, providing insights for strategies to improve back health in this population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Health Literacy Scale

  The Health Literacy Scale is comprised of 25 items, which are organised into four subscales. The scale comprises four subscales, namely access to information (items 1-5), understanding information (items 6-12), appraisal/evaluation (items 13-20) and application/use (items 21-25). The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 25 and 125 points. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of health literacy of the individual also increases.
