ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study investigated the relationship between health literacy (HL) and spine functions in young adults. Material and Methods: 367 young adults participated in the study. Researchers collected demographic data and assessed participants' health perceptions, information-seeking behaviors, and spinal pain status. Health literacy was measured using the Turkish Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32), with scores categorized as inadequate (0-25), problematic-limited (>25-33), adequate (>33-42), or excellent (>42-50). Spine functions were evaluated using the Spine Function Index. Results: Participants demonstrated limited health literacy levels with a median score of 32.66 (range: 8.33-50). Primary sources for health information were healthcare professionals (49.9%), internet (37.1%), family (10.9%), and friends (2.2%). Most participants rated their general health as "good" (52.9%) or "moderate" (38.1%), with smaller percentages reporting "very good" (6.3%) or "bad" (2.7%) health status. The median spinal pain score was 80 (range: 4-100). Statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between different health literacy levels and spinal functionality or pain measures. Conclusion: The study found no association between health literacy and spine pain or functioning in young adults. Participants showed limited health literacy levels overall. Given the significant life changes occurring during young adulthood, adequate health literacy is crucial and should be evaluated alongside various health-related factors to promote better health outcomes in this population.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma genç yetişkin bireylerde sağlık okuryazarlığı (SO) ile omurga fonksiyonları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 367 genç yetişkin katılımcı çalışmaya dahil edildi. Demografik veriler, sağlık algıları, bilgi edinme yolları ve omurga ağrısı durumu değerlendirildi. Sağlık okuryazarlığı Türkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği (TSOY-32) ile ölçüldü ve puanlar yetersiz (0-25), sorunlu-sınırlı (>25-33), yeterli (>33-42) ve mükemmel (>42-50) olarak kategorize edildi. Omurga fonksiyonları Omurga Fonksiyonel İndeksi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların SO düzeyleri ortanca değeri 32,66 (aralık: 8,33-50) olarak bulundu ve sınırlı sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyini gösterdi. Sağlık bilgisi edinme kaynakları sırasıyla doktor/sağlık personeli (%49,9), internet (%37,1), aile (%10,9) ve arkadaşlar (%2,2) idi. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu genel sağlık durumunu "iyi" (%52,9) veya "orta" (%38,1) olarak değerlendirdi. Omurga ağrısı ortanca değeri 80 (aralık: 4-100) bulundu. Farklı SO düzeyleri ile omurga fonksiyonelliği ve ağrısı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. Sonuç: Genç yetişkinlerde sağlık okuryazarlığı ile omurga ağrısı ve fonksiyonelliği arasında ilişki bulunmadı. Katılımcılar genel olarak sınırlı SO düzeyine sahipti. Yaşamda önemli değişimlerin yaşandığı genç yetişkinlik döneminde yeterli sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi kritik öneme sahiptir ve diğer sağlık faktörleriyle birlikte değerlendirilmelidir.
