Özet

Background and Aims: Health literacy is a set of cognitive-social skills and motivation to access, understand, and utilize information to protect and improve the health of individuals. Pharmacists, as public health advisors, need to play an active and effective role in preventing the negative consequences of inadequate health literacy. In this study, we determined the knowledge, attitudes, behaviours, and educational needs related to pharmacists' health literacy.
