Abstract

<p>[Purpose] This study examined health literacy and related factors in healthcare students. [Participants and Methods] A total of 193 healthcare school students were investigated using 2 health literacy scales: the 14-item Health Literacy Scale and European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire 47 (HLS-EU-Q47), in addition to the Self-Management Skill Scale, Perceived Benefits and Barriers to Exercise Scale, Cognitive Reflection-Impulsivity Scale, Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and Big Five. [Results] Five variables were identified as factors related to HLS-EU-Q47: exercise promoters, the school year, MCQ-30 subscale “positive beliefs about worry”, and Big Five subscales “neuroticism” and “extraversion”. [Conclusion] Early education and approaches focusing on these related factors may be required.</p>
