AP19679263

Objective: To study the level of health literacy of students in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan to improve approaches to promoting and strengthening the health of the population.

Relevance

The influence of lifestyle on population health indicators, the growing burden of chronic non-communicable diseases observed in both developed and developing countries, determines widespread scientific interest in the concepts of health promotion and disease prevention.

Increasing the proportion of the population leading a healthy lifestyle and developing mass sports is one of the objectives of the national project “Quality and affordable healthcare for every citizen “Healthy Nation” for 2021 – 2025.

Building a constructive dialogue in the healthcare system will be most effective when a certain (sufficient) level of health literacy of the population is achieved.

Health literacy, or health literacy, as a set of knowledge, motivation and skills to obtain, understand, evaluate, and use health-related information to make informed decisions, is the subject of research in different countries of the world. The concept, initially studied primarily in North American countries, subsequently became widespread in Europe and Asia.

Increasing attention to this concept in research and practice is due to its strong links to social determinants and health behaviors, health outcomes, service utilization, and the quality of health systems.

Health literacy is fundamental to achieving one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals – universal health coverage.

Expected results

As a result of the implementation of the scientific project, the following results will be obtained:

1). The HLS19 questionnaire will be adapted into the Kazakh language and validated, which will allow the use of this tool for further research on health literacy in the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

2). General health literacy, digital health literacy, vaccination literacy and navigation literacy in the healthcare system will be assessed among students of higher educational institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan using an updated version of the questionnaire. HLS19.

Based on the analysis of the literature review, the results of an analysis of studies of general health literacy among students in higher education institutions in the world and in Kazakhstan were obtained. Based on the results of the literature review, 114 publications were analyzed on various issues related to health literacy among students and youth. The analysis showed that a standardized international assessment tool is desirable. To improve well-being and reduce inequalities, a comprehensive approach that includes tailored interventions and technology initiatives is critical. One (1) review was submitted to the Journal of Clinical Journal of Kazakhstan, recommended by KOKSNVO.

Databases of 1071 people were generated with the results of a questionnaire survey on general health literacy and results from assessing literacy domains: digital literacy, vaccination literacy and navigation in the health care system, among students of higher educational institutions of the city of Karaganda («KMU» ), with specialties in the fields of medicine and healthcare, engineering and technology, humanities and social sciences. 45% of students have an adequate level of medical literacy in all its domains. There is a high frequency of adequate health literacy among medical students.

A correlation and regression analysis of data obtained as a result of a questionnaire survey among students of higher educational institutions in the city of Karaganda was carried out. According to the results of correlation and regression analysis, factors that are associated with the level of medical literacy are course of study, age, area of residence, father’s education (p-value for all indicators more then 0,001).

A correlation and regression analysis of data obtained as a result of a questionnaire survey among students of higher educational institutions in the city of Karaganda was carried out. Based on the results of regression and correlation analysis, it is noted that the level of health literacy affects the following indicators of health behavior among students: attitude towards vaccination, alcohol consumption, visits to doctors over the past 12 months, self-assessment of health (p-value for all indicators more then 0,001).

Information for potential users.

Based on the results obtained, recommendations will be developed to develop competencies in the field of health literacy among students of higher educational institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan (educational and methodological complex, including a textbook, control and measuring tools for mastering educational material, handouts)

Target consumers will be higher education organizations and health schools in primary health care organizations. All materials, as well as developed educational and methodological complexes, will be used in the educational process, and will also be available to teachers and students of NJSC «KMU»
