چکیده :
Introduction: Gynecological cancers, including breast, cervical, ovarian and uterine cancers, are among the most common and deadly cancers around the world. Decisions and actions which people make about their lifestyle behaviors are effected by their level of health literacy. Low health literacy is associated with limited knowledge about cancer screening and lack of desire to do it. Health literacy is an effective factor in increasing health behaviors and improving access to health care and increasing people's control over personal health. Considering the high prevalence of gynecological cancers and the importance of health literacy in the prevention of these cancers, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating health literacy in the prevention and diagnostic behaviors of gynecological cancers. Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional descriptive analytical study on 470 women who referred to the health centers of Mashhad in 2022 using available sampling method. The tool used was the Functional Health Literacy Questionnaire (S-TOFHLA). Data analysis was done using spss version 25 and descriptive and analytical statistical tests. Results: 48 % of the referring women had insufficient health literacy, 24 % had borderline health literacy and only 28% of the samples had sufficient health literacy. The majority of the participants had a bachelor's degree, were housewives, and had incomes below the subsistence level. Health literacy had a significant relationship with education, income, occupation and age. Conclusion: Inadequate health literacy in participating women is a common problem that has reduced the chances of performing diagnostic and preventive behaviors of gynecological cancers. Moreover, women with good health literacy performed Pap test screening and mammography more than others. Therefore, it is necessary to implement educational interventions to improve women's health literacy
