Effect of Health Literacy and Patient Activation on Health-Seeking Behaviour: A Cross-Sectional Study in Turkey.

The study aimed to investigate the effect of health literacy and patient activation on health-seeking behaviour. In addition, the role of general health status and age variables in this effect was also addressed. The research using quantitative methods is cross-sectional. The participant information form, health literacy scale, patient activation scale and health-seeking behaviour scale were used in the study. In addition to descriptive analyses, difference analysis, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the study. The study participants consisted of 1045 adult individuals living in Turkey. According to the correlation analysis results, it was determined that health literacy and patient activation were significantly positively associated with health-seeking behaviour. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the independent variables of health literacy, patient activation, age and general health status significantly affected health-seeking behaviour. Accordingly, patient activation and general health status positively affect health-seeking behaviour, while health literacy and age have a negative effect. To positively improve individuals' health-seeking behaviours, it is thought that it would be appropriate to focus on individuals whose general health status is not good, who are not actively involved in their treatment, who have high health literacy and who are elderly. Since the research examines the effect of patient activation and health literacy on health-seeking behaviour, it is of great importance for the research that the public and patients are included in the study from the design of the research to the presentation of the findings. The emergence of the study was made possible by the public and patients' evaluations of the research topics and their participation in the survey.

Assessment Literacy of Secondary School Teachers and Its Impact on Student's Performance in the Division of Gingoog City

This study examined teacher’s assessment literacy and its probable impact on students’ performance through the intervening variables of the teachers. The study had 234 public secondary school teachers in the Division of Gingoog City. It employed the Input-Process-Output (IPO) Model of David Bushnell which illustrates how teachers’ demographics (input): length of service, DepEd issuances, and assessment training/s attended, assessment literacy (process): assessment knowledge, assessment practices/beliefs and assessment result utilization will impact students’ performance (output). The results showed that most of the respondents have been in the service for five years and below, a little over half have attended training on test construction and table of specification, and on average only a little more than one-fourth of the teachers received copies of DepEd issuances relative to assessment. Additionally, it revealed that there is no conclusive evidence to show a direct correlation between teachers’ assessment literacy and students’ performance which means none of the assessment literacy variables significantly impact students’ performance. The results further revealed that no significant difference was noted in teachers’ length of service and DepEd issuance to assessment literacy. However, a highly significant difference was noted in assessment training attended and assessment literacy. It also disclosed that no matter how long the teachers have been in the service, whether they have copies of all DepEd issuances, these do not contribute to their literacy in assessment. The findings in this study underscored the need to provide quality and effective inputs from both the department and the respondents. There has to be a relevant and appropriate process to effect quality output, which is commendable student performance.
