This cross-sectional study was conducted on 597 puerperant women hospitalized in the puerperal ward of a public hospital in eastern Turkey.

In addition to descriptive statistics (number, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation), t-test, one-way analysis of variance and kruskall wallis analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Of the puerperant women included in the research; 82.9% of them went to health checks regularly, 66.5% gave birth normally, 58.5% gave birth under the management of midwives, 68.7% had a planned pregnancy, 87.1% did not receive childbirth preparation training and 70.1% never smoked. found not to be used. The mean score of puerperal women from the health literacy scale is 105.05±16.44. There was a significant difference between the mean health literacy total score of the puerperal women and their age, education level, employment status, place of residence, presence of social security, family type, regular health check-ups, planned pregnancy, and receiving birth preparation training (p<0.001; p<0.05). It was found that the level of health literacy of puerperants was related to socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics. In this direction, determining and increasing the level of health literacy of women in the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and postpartum periods will be effective in gaining some health protection behaviors. © 2023, Inonu University.
