Abstract

The study aims to determine the correlation between health literacy (HL) and mental health literacy (MHL) in Turkish society. This study was a cross-sectional survey, a form of quantitative research. Data were collected from participants with the personal information form, Turkish Health Literacy Scale, and Mental Health Literacy Scale. The study found that 48.2% of the individuals had insufficient-limited HL and that 46.2% had a low level of MHL. A positive weak relationship was found between HL and MHL. As HL and MHL are correlated concepts, community health nurses can prepare their nursing action plans accordingly.
