About this study
This study aims to investigate the relationship between health literacy, physical activity, back pain, and posture habits among university students. The Health Literacy Scale, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Posture Habits Questionnaire for Back Health in Daily Activities will be used to collect data from participants. Health literacy will be assessed in terms of individuals' ability to access, understand, and apply health-related information, while physical activity levels and posture habits will be examined for their influence on back pain. The findings are expected to shed light on the role of health literacy in promoting healthier physical activity and posture habits, providing insights for strategies to improve back health in this population.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Health Literacy Scale
The Health Literacy Scale is comprised of 25 items, which are organised into four subscales. The scale comprises four subscales, namely access to information (items 1-5), understanding information (items 6-12), appraisal/evaluation (items 13-20) and application/use (items 21-25). The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 25 and 125 points. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of health literacy of the individual also increases.
Measured: one month
Secondary outcomes (2)
International Physical Activity Questionnaire
It is a short form consisting of 7 questions covering the last week in the assessment of physical activity level. The calculation of the total score of the short form includes the sum of the duration (minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderate intensity activity and intensity activity. The sitting score is calculated separately. The survey includes questions about PA performed for at least 10 minutes in the last week. A score is obtained as "MET-minutes/week" by multiplying minutes, days and MET values.
Measured: one month
Posture Habits Questionnaire Related to Back Health in Daily Activities
The questionnaire was devised with the objective of evaluating the typical postural habits exhibited during the course of daily activities. The questionnaire comprises 31 questions. Four questions pertain to activities undertaken while standing, nine to activities performed while sitting, 13 to activities involving weight bearing, and five to activities carried out while lying down.
Measured: one month
