Study of Health Literacy and health-related quality of life among nursing students

Abstract

Introduction: The Covid-19 virus has spread worldwide in 2020, and the World Health Organization has declared it a pandemic. In this study, we identified a link between health education and quality of life of nursing school students during the Kovid-19 epidemic. Materials and Methods: The survey covered 271 first-year students at the School of Nursing using a one-time quantitative survey using a targeted sampling method. Data were collected using five HL-Health Literacy in School-Aged Children (HLSAC) questions and 10 HQ-health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questions. Results: The average age of the study participants was 18.95 (sd = .198), of which 65.7% were currently healthy and 34.3% were ill. Of the students infected with Covid-19, 1.1% were housed in isolation shelters, 5.5% in hospitals, and 42.4% at home. Conclusion: In this study, we will identify the relationship between health education and quality of life of nursing school students during the Coved-19 epidemic.
