- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the opinions of stakeholders on policies developed for health literacy in hospitals in Turkey. For this purpose, how health literacy is defined by stakeholders in hospitals, social benefits, challenges in this area and suggestions are presented. Methods: Stakeholder analysis and purposeful sampling method were used in the study group and this context, universities, ministry of health, media organizations and healthcare institutions have been identified as stakeholders. In the analysis of data, code-relationships and code-matrix tables were created in the representation of the themes and sub-themes using a software program that allows qualitative analysis. Results: The increase in the level of health literacy also increases social well-being. In this case, the views on the development of policies and the increase of social benefit are collected in three sub-themes as economic improvements, development of appropriate health behaviours, increase of satisfaction and productivity. Accordingly, it was found that economically avoiding unnecessary use would reduce health spending and costs. However, it has been stated that the conscious patient profile and the compliance of the patient with the treatment will increase the expected health behaviours. In addition, the majority of the participants expressed Ministry of Health as the organization needs to be cooperated. Conclusion: Health literacy is considered as an important policy issue and this has been emphasized by experts. Finally, it can be said that policy makers should be the people who have a vision that health literacy policies will have positive effects on the health of society.
