Improving food literacy can promote healthier eating habits, reduce the risk of diet-related diseases, and improve the overall well-being of university students. This study aims to assess the level of food and nutrition literacy among university students.</p> <p><strong>Material and Methods: </strong>The population of the study consisted of students of xxx University, while the sample consisted of 560 students. The data of the study were collected using socio-demographic information form and Food and Nutrition Literacy Scale (FNL). Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wall test were used to analyse the data.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> It was found that women scored higher on the attitude dimension, that the mean score on the knowledge and behaviour dimension increased with increasing age, that the score of the students of the Vocational School of Health Services was lower than that of the other departments on the knowledge and behaviour dimension, and that the scores on the knowledge and behaviour dimension increased with increasing class. It was found that the behavioural dimension of those who received nutrition support was higher than those who did not, and the mean score of those who received nutrition education was higher in the knowledge and behaviour dimension (p<0.05).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>It was found that students did not have an adequate level of food and nutrition literacy and that gender, age, class and education influenced this level. In line with these findings, it is recommended that training programmes aimed at raising awareness of healthy eating should be expanded in universities and that sustainable food policies should be developed to enable students to make informed food choices.</p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Turkey Health Literacy Journal http://saglikokuryazarligidergisi.com/index.php/soyd/article/view/116Türkçe2025-02-10T17:51:47+00:00Berk Geroğluberkgeroglu@hotmail.comTürkçe Türkçesecilozkan70@gmail.com<p>Migration refers to the relocation of individuals for better living conditions, due to the lack of security or economic reasons. It has shaped social, cultural, and economic structures throughout history, influencing both individual lives and societies. Particularly after the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the concept of “forced migration” has gained prominence in Türkiye. Forced migration involves individuals compelled to leave their regions due to wars, natural disasters, or human rights violations. Asylum seekers and refugees often face multidimensional challenges, including language barriers, cultural differences, and social exclusion. Migration health encompasses a holistic approach aimed at preserving the physical, mental, and social well-being of the person.</p> <p>Hosting the largest asylum seeker and refugee population globally, Türkiye has become a key player in international migration health. Civil Society Organizations (CSO) play critical roles in promoting health literacy, cultural adaptation, and strengthening primary healthcare services. Strengthening public-CSO partnerships, leveraging digital solutions to facilitate service accessibility, and ensuring long-term financial support are vital for sustainable solutions in migration health. With its comprehensive approach, Türkiye not only supports the health and integration of asylum seekers and refugees but also serves as a model for best practices on a global scale, contributing to societal health and cohesion.</p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Turkey Health Literacy Journal http://saglikokuryazarligidergisi.com/index.php/soyd/article/view/117Çocuk Diş Hekimliğinde Ebeveyn Ağız-Diş Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı ve Çocukların Ağız-Diş Sağlığı Üzerindeki Etkileri2025-02-12T07:36:25+00:00Nevra Karamüftüoğlunvrserbest@hotmail.com<p>Oral health literacy,a relatively new field within the concept of health literacy,refers to individuals' ability to acquire,process,and apply information related to oral health.Oral health significantly impact not only adults but also children's health.Children's oral health is a fundamental aspect of their general well-being,influencing their quality of life in the long run.Oral health problems during childhood can lead to more severe health issues in adulthood.Parents' level of knowledge about oral health is a crucial factor in shaping children's dental care habits and preventing oral health problems.This review aims to examine the importance of the relationship between parental oral health literacy and children's oral health in the context of pediatric dentistry.Researchs indicates that children of parents with low oral health literacy levels are more likely to experience dental caries and periodontal diseases.Parents' knowledge of oral health directly affects their children's toothbrushing habits,frequency of dental visits, and overall oral hygiene.Additionally,socioeconomic status,education level,and cultural factors are known to influence parental oral health literacy levels.This review provides recommendations for improving parental oral health literacy.Strategies such as educational programs,increased access to healthcare services,awareness campaigns, and the integration of oral health education into child health programs are considered essential for enhancing children's long-term oral health. In conclusion, improving parental oral health literacy is highlighted as a critical factor in positively impacting children's oral health,overall well-being,and quality of life.</p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Turkey Health Literacy Journal http://saglikokuryazarligidergisi.com/index.php/soyd/article/view/123Application of Telemedicine in the Diagnosis of Oncogynaecological Diseases2025-03-17T10:13:53+00:00Hristina Genchevatina_gabi@abv.bg<p><strong>Abstract:</strong><br>Oncogynaecological diseases, including cervical, endometrial, ovarian cancers, and others, require a comprehensive and multi-layered approach to diagnosis and treatment. Early detection of these diseases is crucial for successful treatment and increasing survival chances. While traditional medical exams remain the foundation for diagnosis, telemedicine offers new ways of delivering these services, especially in situations where access to healthcare specialists is limited.</p> <p>The aim of this paper is to explore the applications of telemedicine in the diagnosis of oncogynaecological diseases, focusing on the advantages, challenges, and potential of this innovative technology. By analyzing current practices and research in this field, we will attempt to outline the future of telemedicine in oncogynaecology and its impact on women's health.</p>2025-03-03T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Turkey Health Literacy Journal
