Considering people's tendency to self-treatment, efforts to address the broad aspects of health literacy are extremely important. The study aimed to find out the level of health literacy related to the use of retinol creams among female undergraduate students of the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at Al-Balqa Applied University.
This study adopted an analytical descriptive research methodology by designing and applying a questionnaire tool. The questionnaire consisted, after arbitration and testing its validity and stability, of 15 items. Each item represents one of the indicators for measuring the level of health literacy about the use of retinol creams. The sample of the study was a random sample of female students in the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence at Al-Balqa Applied University.
A total of 221 undergraduate female students were enrolled in the study. The most important results were that the arithmetic mean for estimating the level of health culture among female students in the study on the use of retinol creams was 3.117 out of 5, with a relative weight percentage of 62.3% and an average total score on the general level of indicators of total health culture.
This study provided insights into the health literacy related to the use of retinol creams among female students. While the students demonstrated a high level of health education in some aspects, there were areas where their knowledge and practices could be improved. These findings can contribute to the development of educational programs and interventions aimed at promoting the safe and informed use of retinol creams among university students.
鉴于人们自我治疗的倾向，努力解决健康素养的广泛问题极为重要。本研究旨在了解巴尔卡应用大学人工智能学院女本科生中与使用视黄醇乳膏相关的健康素养水平。
本研究采用分析性描述性研究方法，设计并应用了问卷工具。经审核并测试其有效性和稳定性后，问卷由15个项目组成。每个项目代表衡量视黄醇乳膏使用健康素养水平的指标之一。研究样本是巴尔卡应用大学人工智能学院的女学生随机样本。
共有221名本科女学生参与了该研究。最重要的结果是，在视黄醇乳膏使用研究中，女学生健康文化水平估计的算术平均值为5分中的3.117分，相对权重百分比为62.3%，总体健康文化指标的平均总分。
本研究提供了女学生中与视黄醇乳膏使用相关的健康素养见解。虽然学生在某些方面表现出较高的健康教育水平，但在一些领域，她们的知识和实践仍有待改进。这些发现有助于制定旨在促进大学生安全、明智使用视黄醇乳膏的教育计划和干预措施。
