Öğrencilerinyaşı, cinsiyeti, ailede sağlık çalışanı bulunması vesağlığı algılama durumları ile sağlık okuryazarlığıarasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı ancak dördüncüsınıfta okuyan ve tedavi gördüğü hastalığıbulunanların sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyinin anlamlıolarak yüksek olduğu saptandı (p0.05).Sonuç: Çalışmaya katılan üniversite öğrencileri ilaçdozlarının zamanını, hipotansiyon belirtilerini vehastane randevusu almayı iyi bilmekte ancakhipertansiyon belirtilerini ve hastalıkları ile ilgilişikayetlerde başvurulacak polikliniği iyibilmemektedir.
