				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) ranks as one of the most common non-contagious diseases and its importance has been widely acknowledged. Nevertheless, health literacy and lifestyle factors have a big impact on how well people control and manage this condition. The current relationship between health-promoting behaviors and health literacy among DM patients of the Military hospital is discussed in this article.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional investigation encompassed a sample of 281 type 2 DM patients attending the endocrinology clinic at Baqiyatallah Hospital. Data collection was achieved through the employment of a checklist comprising 12 demographic items, a 33-item Health Literacy Instrument for Adults (HELIA) questionnaire, and a 51-item Walker&#039;s Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP II) questionnaire. Data analysis was completed by implementing Pearson’s correlation coefficient, independent t-tests, analysis of variance, and hierarchical linear regression, which was done by using SPSS ver. 22.Results: The mean age of the participants was calculated to be 45.2 ± 17.2 years. The participents’ charachteristics mostly consisted of being men (66.9%), married (63.7%), and having a diploma (45.9%). In this study, a moderate positive correlation was found between health literacy and health-promoting behaviors (r=0.405) (p=0.000). Furthermore, people ages 45 and above and those with a non-medical job had the highest scores on health-promoting behaviors, and non-smokers had a higher score on health literacy. Liner Regression analysis demonstrated that reading, access, decision-making, and behavioral intention significantly predicted health-promoting behaviors (R²=0.295, p&lt;0.000),with decision-making showing the strongest effect (β=0.242, p=0.002).Conclusion: The findings of the current study verify that there is a relationship between health literacy and lifestyle, and that edjucational programs focus more on improving specific domains like accessing, reading and decision-making, as identified in the regression for DM patients.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: In today&#039;s digital era, the increasing integration of technology into daily life has significantly influenced health behaviors and literacy, particularly among university students in health-related fields such as nursing. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the use of information technologies and smartphone addiction levels with digital healthy diet literacy among nursing students.Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 368 nursing students between January and May 2023. Data was collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Information Technology Use Scale, the Smartphone Addiction Scale, and the Digital Healthy Diet Literacy Scale. Results: The mean scores of these scales were 56.25±8.85, 32.14±9.86 and 20.05±10.51 respectively. There was a significant difference in the scores on the Scale of Utilization of Information Technologies by grade level (p&lt;0.05), with a significant difference between second and fourth graders (p=.025). A positive, very weak, significant correlation was found between the Scale of Utilization of Information Technologies and the Digital Healthy Diet Literacy Scale (r=.161, p=.002), and between the Smartphone Addiction Scale and the Digital Healthy Diet Literacy Scale (r=.153, p=.003).  Multiple regression analysis indicated that both information technology use (β =.135, p =.010) and smartphone addiction (β =.126, p=.017) were weak but significant predictors of digital healthy diet literacy, although the overall model accounted for only 3.6% of the variance (F(2, 365) =7.81, p&lt;.001).Conclusion: The study suggests that there are weak but significant relationships between levels of information technology use, smartphone addiction and digital healthy diet literacy that vary by grade level. ]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: Middle-aged adults often experience anxiety related to aging, particularly as they face life challenges and health-related concerns associated with getting older. Health literacy is a key factor in managing well-being during this stage of life, especially when dealing with chronic conditions. This study explores the relationship between anxiety about aging and health literacy in middle-aged individuals.Material and Methods: A descriptive correlational study was carried out in 2024, involving 431 middle-aged residents of Babol city. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using a demographic questionnaire, the Lasher and Faulkender Anxiety about Aging Scale (AAS) with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82, and the Iranian Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA) with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.94. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 16, including independent t-tests, ANOVA, regression analysis, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.Results: The average score for anxiety about aging was 49.50±8.98, indicating a moderate level, while the mean health literacy score was 67.69±13.86, indicating an adequate level of health literacy. Anxiety about aging was significantly associated with gender (P=0.01), occupation (P=0.02), education (P=0.026), marital status (P=0.029), and income (P=0.002). Health literacy was significantly related to age (P=0.002), education (P=0.001), occupation (P=0.002), insurance coverage (P=0.001), income (P&lt;0.001), and sources of health information (P=0.005). A significant inverse relationship was found between anxiety about aging and health literacy (r=-0.425, P&lt;0.001). All dimensions of anxiety about aging were inversely correlated with every domain of health literacy (P&lt;0.001).Conclusion: Enhancing health literacy within middle-aged population could play a pivotal role in reducing anxiety related to aging, as individuals with higher health literacy are better equipped to manage health-related challenges and make informed decisions. It is crucial for policymakers to design and implement educational programs that focus on enhancing health literacy and alleviating anxiety about aging among middle-aged individuals.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the osteoarthritis short health literacy questionnaire (OSHL) for musculoskeletal patients (LiMP) among individuals with osteoarthritis in Iran.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional validation study was conducted with 420 patients aged 45–75 years, recruited from the rheumatology clinic of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Hamadan. The LiMP questionnaire underwent a rigorous translation and back-translation process. Psychometric evaluation included assessments of face validity (qualitative interviews and item impact scores), content validity (expert panel review, Content Validity Ratio [CVR], and Content Validity Index [CVI]), and construct validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses). Reliability was examined using Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest stability.Results: The Persian LiMP demonstrated strong face and content validity, with all items achieving impact scores above 1.5, a CVR of 0.86, and a CVI of 0.95. Exploratory factor analysis identified a three-factor structure: Musculoskeletal Conditions, F2: Musculoskeletal Diagnosis and treatment, and F3:Anatomy and terminology; accounting for 71.07% of the variance, confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis with good model fit indices (e.g., the Comparative Fit Index  = 0.962, the root mean square error of approximation = 0.083). All subscales showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha &gt; 0.70) and satisfactory test-retest reliability (mean the Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.789). Convergent and discriminant validity were generally supported.Conclusions: The Persian version of the LiMP for musculoskeletal patients is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing health literacy in this population. Its use can facilitate targeted interventions and improve patient outcomes. ]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: E-health literacy involves the ability to search for, find, estimate and evaluate information about health and/or health services. Online sources of health information are now a privileged way of accessing information, especially among students. The aim of this study was to access the level of e- health literacy in a sample of Portuguese university students; and to relate the level of e-health literacy with sociodemographic characteristics; analyze differences between health and non-health students and with the use of online health information. Material and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on Portuguese university students. All students completed a questionnaire consisting of social-demographic characteristics, and sources of health online information used. The digital health literacy score was assessed by the eHEALS scale validated for the Portuguese population. Descriptive and inferential analysis was applied, as well as multivariate regression models. Results: In this study, 534 university students participated; the median age was 21.0. The level of e-health literacy was 28.8 (5.6). Health-sciences students had higher digital health literacy scores than students from other fields. Most students considered the internet to be useful and very useful in making health decisions. Students&#039; use of health online information sources such as official health websites (OR= 2.6; CI 95%= 1.5;4.3) and professional health websites (OR= 2.3; CI95%= 1.4; 3.8) increased their likelihood of having a sufficient level of e-health literacy. While the use of information sources such as social networks (OR= 0.5; 95%CI: 0.3;0.9) decreases the likelihood of having a sufficient level of e-health literacy.Conclusion: Health students showed higher levels of health literacy, demonstrating the importance of including health education in the curricula of other areas. As a practical implication, there is a need to include health education, health campaigns, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles in curricula in order to increase health literacy in university.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: Maternal health literacy (MHL) is a woman’s ability to access, understand, interpret and use health information to make informed decisions during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period that benefit both mother and child. It is a critical determinant of maternal and neonatal health outcomes. However, evidence on maternal health literacy and its determinants in Ethiopia remains scarce and fragmented. Hence, mapping existing evidence can inform policymakers and health practitioners, providing a foundation for designing targeted interventions to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. To map existing evidence on maternal health literacy and determinant factors among pregnant women in Ethiopia.Materials and Methods: This scoping review was developed in accordance with the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Relevant studies were retrieved from peer-reviewed journals, theses, and institutional reports. Data were extracted for study characteristics, measurement tools, maternal health literacy levels, and determinants. Findings were synthesized descriptively and thematically.Results: in this scoping review, the proportion of adequate maternal health literacy levels was ranged from 25.5% to 55.5%. Three broad themes of determinants were developed: socio-demographic (Socio-demographic factors such as educational attainment, age at first pregnancy, residence, and travel time), health service related (Having antenatal and postnatal care, as well as exposure to counseling during facility-based deliveries), and community or structural factors (Enrollment in Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) and the presence and accessibility of Health Extension Workers (HEWs) were equally important). Conclusion: Maternal health literacy among Ethiopian women remains low and influenced by a combination of socio-demographic, health service related, and community or structural factors. Enhancing MHL requires comprehensive, context-sensitive strategies that improve education, increase access to maternal health services, and strengthen community-based programs. Addressing these multidimensional determinants will empower women to make informed health decisions, ultimately contributing to better maternal and child health outcomes across Ethiopia.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objective: Adolescents represent a crucial population for HIV/AIDS prevention, yet their literacy and engagement with digital health resources remain inadequate. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the influence of chatbot literacy, trust in artificial intelligence, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity on HIV/AIDS literacy among late adolescents. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in August 2025 involving 926 students from senior and vocational high schools, recruited through stratified random sampling. Data were obtained via a validated questionnaire assessing HIV/AIDS literacy, chatbot literacy, AI trust, AI openness, chatbot choice, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity. The digital survey was distributed using QR codes. Descriptive statistics summarized characteristics; Chi-square tests identified associations; logistic regression determined independent predictors (odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals). Ethical clearance and informed consent/assent were secured. Results: HIV/AIDS literacy differed significantly by age, gender, school type, and internet access (p &lt; 0.05). Bivariate analysis showed that chatbot literacy, AI trust, and HIV/AIDS sensitivity were significantly associated with HIV/AIDS literacy (p &lt; 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that AI trust (p &lt; 0.001), chatbot literacy (p = 0.032), and HIV/AIDS sensitivity (p&lt;0.001) remained significant independent predictors. Conclusion: HIV/AIDS literacy among adolescents is shaped by digital competence, AI trust, and health awareness. Strengthening these aspects may enhance youth engagement with health information and support preventive behaviors.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Background and Objectives: Cases of early marriage and sexual violence remain prevalent in Indonesia, highlighting the urgent need for adolescents to possess adequate sexual and reproductive health literacy (SRHL). Junior high school students should have too to prevent risky sexual behaviors, such as premarital or casual sex. However, limited research has examined Indonesian adolescents’ perspectives and understanding of SRHL, and factors influencing the literacy levels. This study aimed to investigate the level of SRHL among junior high school students in Surakarta and to analyze the factors that influence it.Material and Methods: An ex post facto survey was conducted in 2023 involving 447 students aged 13–15 years from eight schools representing the diversity of Indonesia’s school system (public, private, Islamic, and Catholic). Schools were purposively selected to ensure proportional representation, and students were randomly chosen. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting: demographic information, a 51-item knowledge test, and a 47-item attitude scale. Instrument validity and reliability were confirmed through expert judgment and field testing. Eta correlation was applied for nominal variables (age, gender, and school type), while Pearson’s correlation was used to analyze relationships between interval variables (knowledge and attitude). SRHL levels were categorized as inadequate, problematic, sufficient, or excellent.Results: Of the total participants, 53.2% demonstrated a sufficient level of SRHL, 19.7% were excellent, 25.5% problematic, and 1.6% inadequate. Weak correlations were found between SRHL and both age (η² = 0.201) and school type (η² = 0.349), while gender showed no significant relationship (η² = 0.099). Knowledge and attitude showed strong positive correlations with SRHL (R = 0.524 and R = 1.000, respectively).Conclusion: Most junior high school students in Surakarta demonstrated sufficient SRHL. Knowledge and attitude were found to be strongly and positively associated with sexual and reproductive health literacy levels.]]></abstract>
