About

The world's elderly population is increasing. It is possible to prepare for the old age period by starting to develop the level of Health Literacy (HL) in the 45-64 age group. In this context, this study is planned to be conducted as a randomized controlled study with an active control group in order to compare the effect of European Health Literacy-based education and e-Pulse education (HELP) on the level of health literacy in adults aged 45-64 with insufficient-limited health literacy. The study was planned to include a total of 140 participants from the intervention group (HELP) (n:70) and the active control group (e-Pulse) (n:70). Interactive group training consisting of six modules and 90 minutes each will be given to the HELP group. Individual e-Pulse instruction will be given to the active control group. European Health Literacy Scale scores will be considered as the primary outcome of the research. Scores from the eHealth Literacy Scale will be considered as the secondary outcome of the research.
