Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

This study will be conducted as a relational descriptive study to determine the health literacy level of parents with infants between 0-28 days of age regarding neonatal jaundice. The secondary aim of the study is to examine whether the health literacy levels of the parents differ with parent and infant descriptive characteristics and their knowledge about neonatal jaundice. In this study, answers to the following questions were sought. 1. What is the level of knowledge about neonatal jaundice among parents with infants between 0-28 days? 2. What is the level of health literacy of parents with infants between 0-28 days of age and is there a relationship between parent, infant identifying characteristics and knowledge about neonatal jaundice?

Parent and Infant Information Form
This form consists of a total of 19 questions in line with the literature, including the parents' age, education level, family type, place of residence, whether they have other children, how many days their baby is, gender of the baby, maternal blood type, paternal blood type, and whether the baby is given formula in addition.
Parent Information Form on Neonatal Jaundice
This form consists of a total of 6 questions in line with the literature, including whether the parent has sufficient information about neonatal jaundice, from whom he/she received the information, what his/her reaction will be if his/her baby gets jaundice, and information about the causes, symptoms and side effects of jaundice.
Turkey Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32)
It is a 32-question scale developed based on the Conceptual Framework of the European Health Literacy Scale Study. The Turkish Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32) was developed to assess health literacy in literate people over the age of fifteen. Unlike the original scale, the scale consists of eight components including two dimensions (treatment and service, disease prevention and health promotion) and four processes (accessing health-related information, understanding health-related information, evaluating health-related information, and using/applying health-related information). The overall internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.92. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the first dimension 'Treatment and Service Subdimension' is 0.88. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the second dimension 'Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Dimension' is 0.86. Permission to use the scale was obtained.
