The aim of this study was to determine the effect of health literacy education given to nursing students on health literacy level.
Health literacy has become an important issue in the field of health. Health literacy is an issue of interest to health professionals as well as individuals.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. A total of 206 nursing students, 103 in the intervention and 103 in the control group, were included in the study. The intervention group received four weekly training sessions of health literacy education. The research was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number NCT04868487.
On the baseline assessment, there were no statistically significant differences between the intervention and control group in terms of health literacy level (p > 0.05). In the 1st- week and 12th-week measurements, the health literacy level of the intervention group was significantly higher than control group (p < 0.05).
Health literacy education was effective in increasing the health literacy level of the students. Therefore, the concept of health literacy should be added to the nursing education curriculum.

健康素养已成为健康领域的一个重要问题。健康素养是健康专业人员和个人都关注的问题。
该研究采用随机对照试验设计。共纳入 206 名护理学生，干预组 103 名，对照组 103 名。干预组接受了为期四周的每周四次的健康素养教育培训。该研究已在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册，注册号为 NCT04868487。
在基线评估时，干预组和对照组在健康素养水平方面没有统计学上的显著差异（p>0.05）。在第 1 周和第 12 周的测量中，干预组的健康素养水平明显高于对照组（p<0.05）。
健康素养教育能有效提高学生的健康素养水平。因此，健康素养的概念应该纳入护理教育课程。
